19. Nothing, Either Great or Small

7.5.
1
Nothing, either great or small,
 
Nothing, sinner, no;
 
Jesus did it, did it all,
 
Long, long ago.
 
"It is finished!" Yes, indeed,
 
Finished every jot.
 
Sinner, this is all you need;
 
Tell me, is it not?
2
When He, from His lofty throne,
 
Stooped to do and die,
 
Everything was fully done:
 
Hearken to His cry — 
3
Weary, working, burdened one,
 
Wherefore toil you so?
 
Cease your doing; all was done
 
Long, long ago.
4
Till to Jesus’ work you cling,
 
By a simple faith,
 
"Doing" is a deadly thing — 
 
"Doing" ends in death.
5
Cast your deadly "doing" down,
 
Down at Jesus’ feet;
 
Stand "in Him," "in Him" alone,
 
Gloriously complete.
