It Is Finished.

By L. D. A. S.

'Tis finished all! The fearful debt is paid ! And guilty man once more can lift his eyes, And hope for mercy, through the priceless blood, Of Jesus Christ, the spotless Sacrifice.
'Tis finished all, and at the wondrous words, Bright angels touch their golden harps and raise, One grand, triumphant strain of victory, And tongues immortal shout their joyous praise.
Oh, boundless mercy; depth of wondrous love Fit theme for sage's lore, or poet's song, That lead the guiltless Son of God to die ! To suffer shame and cruelty and wrong !
Oh, sinful man ! How can'st thou e'er repay, That love so deep, so infinite, so free ? Yield up to Him, thy life, thy love, thine all, In grateful homage bow thy stubborn knee.
To prove thy gratitude by deeds of love, To wash thy spirit from its sinful stain, Forsake thy pride, thy folly, that for thee, The blood of Jesus be not shed in vain.
L. D. A. S.
