Lyics"'Tis FINISH'D," the Redeemer cries,
Then lowly bows his fainting head;
And soon th' expiring sacrifice
Sinks to the regions of the dead.
'Tis done-the mighty work is done!
For men or angels much too great;
Which none but God's almighty Son,
Or would attempt, or could complete.
'Tis done-old things are pass'd away,
And a new state of things begun;
A kingdom which shall ne'er decay,
But shall outlast the circling sun.
A new account of time begins;
Now our dear Lord resumes his breath;
Charg'd with our sorrows and our sins,
Our lives to ransom by his death.
Once he was dead, but now he reigns,
He lives, he lives, he lives again;
Let's tell our joys in pious strains,
And spread the glory of his name.
