It Is Finished! Blessed Jesus

guitar chords lyrics

Choir of The King's School

It is finished! Blessed Jesus,
Thou hast breathed thy latest sigh,
Teaching us the sons of Adam

How the Son of God can die.
Lifeless lies the pierced Body,
Resting in its rocky bed;
Thou hast left the Cross of anguish
For the mansions of the dead.
In the hidden realms of darkness
Shines a light unseen before,
When the Lord of dead and living
Enters at the lowly door.
Lo, in spirit, rich in mercy
Comes he from the world above,
Preaching to the souls in prison

Lo, in spirit, rich in mercy
Comes he from the world above,
Preaching to the souls in prison
Tidings of his dying love.
Lo, the heavenly light around him,
As he draws his people near;
All amazed they come rejoicing
At the gracious words they hear.
Patriarch and priest and prophet
Gather round him as he stands,
In adoring faith and gladness
Hearing of the pierced hands.
There in lowliest joy and wonder
Stands the robber by his side,
Reaping now the blessed promise
Spoken by the Crucified.
Jesus, Lord of our salvation,
Let thy mercy rest on me;
Grant me too, when life is finished,
Rest in Paradise with thee.
