'Tis finished! The Messiah Dies
Charles Wesley (1749-51 and 1762) • English
Primary Scripture: Exodus 26:33
Verse 1
'Tis finished! The Messiah dies- cut off for sins, but not His own; accomplished is the sacrifice- the great redeeming work is done.
Verse 2
The veil is rent; in Christ alone the living way to heav'n is seen; the middle wall is broken down, and all mankind may enter in.
Verse 3
'Tis finished! All my guilt and pain, I want no sacrifice beside; for me, for me the Lamb is slain, 'tis finished! I am justified.
Verse 4
The reign of sin and death is o'er; all grace is now to sinners giv'n; and, lo! I plead th'atoning blood, and in Thy right I claim my heav'n.
