O What A Conquest Jesus Won
Henry F. Lyte • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 22
Verse 1
O what a conquest Jesus won, When, on the fatal tree, His great atoning work was done, And earth from guilt set free!
Verse 2
’Tis finished!' He exulting cried, The mighty slayer slain; The wrath of God is pacified, And man may hope again!
Verse 3
O rich reward for every groan! O victory complete! To call a ransomed world His own, And hail it to His feet.
Verse 4
Yes, the great work shall onward go; The sure decree is past: The nations to their LORD shall flow, And all be Christ’s at last.
Verse 5
O hasten, Lord, those blessed times! Lead all Thy wanderers home! Convert this world of woe and crimes, And bid Thy kingdom come!
