486: 'TIS finished all --- our souls to win

486: 'TIS finished all --- our souls to win

by Sir Edward Denny (1796-1889)

1 '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.

2 Past suffering 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.

3 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.

4 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.
