Lyics

We sing the Savior's wondrous death--

He conquered when he fell:

'T is finished, said his dying breath,

And shook the gates of hell.



'T is finished, our Immanuel cries,

The dreadful work is done;

Hence shall his sovereign throne arise,

His kingdom is begun.



His cross a sure foundation laid

For glory and renown,

When through the regions of the dead

He passed to reach the crown.
