‘Tis finished all: our souls to win,
His life the blessèd Saviour gave;
Then rising, left His people’s sin
Behind Him in His open grave.
Past suff’ring now, the tender heart
Of Jesus, on His Father’s throne,
Still in our sorrow bears a part,
And feels it as He felt His own.
Sweet thought! we have
a Friend above,
Our weary, faltering steps to guide,
Who follows with the eye of love
The little flock for which He died.
Lord Jesus, teach us
more and more
On Thee alone to cast our care;
And gazing on Thy Cross, adore
The wondrous grace
that brought Thee there.
---Alternative verses---
'Tis finished all—our souls to win
His life the blessed Jesus gave,
And having borne our guilt and sin,
He rose triumphant from the grave.
Sweet thought!
we have a Friend above
Our feeble faltering steps to guide,
Who follows with the eye of love
The little flock for which He died.
