It Is Finished
Stofford A. Brooks (1881) • English
Primary Scripture: Luke 23:46
Verse 1
"It is finished"--all the pain, All the sorrow, all the strain; Death has freed the Lord of life From the burden of His strife.
Verse 2
"It is finished"--all the days, Led thro' many weary ways; Now at last His eyelids close On the hatred of His foes.
Verse 3
"It is finished"--all the love, Deep as His that dwells above; Saving others, all He gave, But Himself He would not save.
Verse 4
"It is finished"--Hark! the cry, Uttered in love's agony,- Is the seal, below, above, Of the victory of love.
