81. "It Is Finished!" Sinners, Hear It
8.7.
1
"It is finished!" Sinners, hear it,
’Tis the dying Victor’s cry;
"It is finished!" Angels, bear it,
Bear the joyful news on high!
"It is finished!" "It is finished!"
Tell it through the earth and sky.
2
Hear the Lord Himself declaring
All performed He came to do;
Sinners, in yourselves despairing,
This is joyful news for you;
Jesus speaks it, Jesus speaks it —
His are faithful words and true.
3
"It is finished!" All is over;
Yes, the cup of wrath is drained;
Such the truth these words discover,
Thus the victory was obtained:
’Tis a victory, ’tis a victory,
None but Jesus could have gained.
4
Crown the mighty Conqueror, crown Him,
Who His people’s foes o’ercame;
In the highest heaven enthrone Him,
Men and angels sound His fame!
Great His glory! Great His glory!
Jesus bears a matchless name.
