IT IS FINISHED – 148
(Joh 19:30) Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. [NASB]
Tis finished! The Messiah dies, cut off for sins, but not His own.
Accomplished is the sacrifice, the great redeeming work is done.
The veil is rent; in Christ alone the living way to heaven is seen;
The middle wall is broken down, And all the world may enter in.
Tis finished! All my guilt and pain, I want no sacrifice be-side;
For me, for me the Lamb is slain, Tis finished! I am justified.
The reign of sin and death is o'er, And all may live from sin set free;
Satan has lost his mortal power, Tis swallowed up in victory.
Charles Wesley, 1707-1788
William B. Bradbury, 1816-1868
