HYMN 114. (C. M.) Christ's Death, Victory, and Dominion.
I
I sing my Saviour's wondrous death;He conquer'd when he fell:
‘'Tis finish'd,’ said his dying breath,
And shook the gates of hell.
II
‘'Tis finish'd,’ our Immanuel cries,The dreadful work is done;
Hence shall his sovereign throne arise,
His kingdom is begun.
III
His cross a sure foundation laidFor glory and renown,
When thro' the regions of the dead
He pass'd to reach the crown.
IV
Exalted at his Father's sideSits our victorious Lord;
To heaven and hell his hands divide
The vengeance or reward.
V
The saints from his propitious eyeAwait their several crowns,
And all the sons of darkness fly
The terror of his frowns.
