[Enter'd upon His final scene]
Now is the Son of Man glorified, &c.
—xiii. 31.
Enter'd upon His final scene
He sees the joy before Him set,
O'erlooks the shame and pain between,
And hastes His great reward to meet;
The victory is already won,
Already of the prize possess'd
He reigns as on His Father's throne,
He triumphs in His Father's breast.

Already of the prize possess'd
He reigns as on His Father's throne,
He triumphs in His Father's breast.
Redemption's wondrous work is wrought,
(The Lamb from earth's foundation died,)
The debt is paid, the pardon bought,
The righteous God is satisfied:
His wrongs repaid, His law fulfill'd,
His power and wisdom from above,
His truth shines forth in Christ reveal'd,
His perfect holiness and love.
