Were Jesus on the cross,
The work were not completed;
But He to glory’s gone,
Above the heavens now seated.
Were Jesus in the grave,
Death had not been defeated
But God has raised Him up,
And now the works completed
Were Jesus not on high,
We had been doubting, fearing;
But every doubt is stilled
By Christ in heaven appearing.
Oh, ‘tis a finished work,
And God delights to view it;
And ‘tis a wondrous work,
And none but Christ could do it!
