Lyics

WE sing the Saviour's wondrous death-

He conquer'd when he fell;

'Tis finish'd, said his dying breath,

And shook the gates of hell.



'Tis finish'd, our Immanuel cries,

The dreadful work is done;

Hence shall his sov'reign throne arise,

His kingdom is begun.



His cross a sure foundation laid

For glory and renown,

When through the regions of the dead

He pass'd to reach the crown.



Raise your devotion, mortal tongues,

His praises to record;

Sweet be the accents of your songs

To your victorious Lord.



Bright angels, strike your loudest strings,

Your sweetest voices raise;

Let heav'n and all created things

Sound our Immanuel's praise!
