"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.
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.
"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.
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.
