It Is Finished! Blessèd Jesus

Author: William D. MacLagan Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2838 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1. It is finished! Blessèd Jesus, Thou hast breathed Thy latest sigh, Teaching us the sons of Adam How the Son of God can die. 2. Lifeless lies the broken body, Hidden in its rocky bed, Laid aside like folded garment: Where is now the Spirit fled? 3. In the gloomy realms of darkness Shines a light unknown before, For the Lord of dead and living Enters at the open door. 4. See! He comes, a willing Victim, Unresisting hither led; Passing from the cross of sorrow To the mansions of the dead. 5. Lo! the heavenly light around Him Ad He draws His people near; All amazed they stand rejoicing At the gracious words they hear. 6. For Himself proclaims the story Of His own incarnate life, And the death He died to save us, Victor in that awful strife. 7. Patriarch and priest and prophet Gather round Him as He stands, In adoring faith and gladness, Hearing of the piercèd hands. 8. Oh, the bliss to which He calls them, Ransomed by His precious blood, From the gloomy realms of darkness To the paradise of God! 9. There in lowliest joy and wonder Stands the robber at His side, Reaping now the blessèd promise Spoken by the Crucified. 10. Jesus, Lord of dead and living, Let Thy mercy rest on me; Grant me, too, when life is finished, Rest in paradise with Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: AD INFERNOS

It is finished! Blessèd Jesus

Author: William Maclagan, 1826-1910 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #99 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 It is finished! Blessèd Jesus, Thou hast breathed thy latest sigh, Teaching us the sons of Adam How the Son of God can die. 2 Lifeless lies the piercèd Body, Resting in its rocky bed; Thou hast left the Cross of anguish For the mansions of the dead. 3 In the hidden realms of darkness Shines a light unseen before, When the Lord of dead and living Enters at the lowly door. 4 Lo, in spirit, rich in mercy Comes he from the world above, Preaching to the souls in prison Tidings of his dying love. 5 Lo, the heavenly light around him, As he draws his people near; All amazed they come rejoicing At the gracious words they hear. 6 Patriarch and priest and prophet Gather round him as he stands, In adoring faith and gladness Hearing of the piercèd hands. 7 There in lowliest joy and wonder Stands the robber by his side, Reaping now the blessèd promise Spoken by the Crucified. 8 Jesus, Lord of our salvation, Let thy mercy rest on me; Grant me too, when life is finished, Rest in Paradise with thee.
