Lyrics

It is fin­ished; what a Gos­pel!
Nothing has been left to do,
But to take with grate­ful glad­ness
What the Sav­ior did for you.

Refrain

It is fin­ished, hal­le­lu­jah!
It is fin­ished, hal­le­lujah!
Christ the work has ful­ly done,
Hallelujah!
All who will may have their par­don
Through the blood of God’s own Son.

It is fin­ished; what a Gos­pel!
Bringing news of vic­to­ry won,
Telling us of peace and par­don
Thro’ the blood of God’s dear Son.

Refrain

It is fin­ished; what a Gos­pel!
Here each wea­ry la­den breast
That ac­cepts God’s gra­cious of­fer,
Enters in­to per­fect rest.

Refrain

It is fin­ished; what a Gos­pel!
Jesus died to save your soul;
Have you taken His sal­va­tion?
Have you let Him make you whole?
