'Tis finish'd so the Savior cried

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: SHBA1792 #LXXII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 'Tis finish'd so the Savior cried, And meekly bow'd his head and died. 'Tis finish'd—yes, the race is run, The battle fought, the victory won. 2 'Tis finish'd–all that Heaven decreed, And all the ancient Prophets said Is now fulfill'd, as was design'd, In me the Savior of mankind. 3 'Tis finish'd—Aaron now no more Must stain his robes with purple gore: The sacred veil is rent in twain, And Jewish rites no more remain. 4 'Tis finish'd—this my dying groan Shall sins of every kind atone: Millions shall be redeem'd from death, By this my last expiring breath. 5 'Tis finish'd—Heav'n is reconcil'd To God and powers of darkness spoil'd: Peace, love, and happiness again Return and dwell with sinful men. 6 'Tis finish'd—let the joyful sound Be heard thro' all the nations round: 'Tis finish'd—let the echo fly Thro' heaven and hell, thro' earth and sky.

On the death of a believer

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #DLX (1792) First Line: 'Tis finished, 'tis done! the spirit is fled Lyrics: 1 'Tis finish'd, 'tis done! the spirit is fled, Our brother is gone, the christian is dead; The Christian is living in Jesus's love, And gladly receiving a kingdom above. 2 All honor and praise are Jesus's due; Supported by grace, he fought his way thro', Triumphantly glorious, thro' Jesus's zeal, And more than victorious o'er sin, death, and hell. 3 Then let us record the conquering name, Our captain and Lord, with shoutings proclaim: Who trust in his passion, and follow their head, To certain salvation shall surely be led. 4 O Jesus, lead on thy militant care, And give us the crown of righteousness there Where dazzled with glory, the seraphim gaze, Or prostrate adore thee in silence or praise. 5 Within us display thy love, when we die, And bear us away, to mansions on high: The kingdom be given, of glory divine, And crown us in heaven eternally thine.

A Song of Praise to God

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: SHBA1792 #I (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: To God the universal king Lyrics: 1 To God the universal king Let all mankind their tribute bring: All that have breath, your voices raise, In songs of never-ceasing praise. 2 The spacious earth on which we tread, And wider heavens stretch'd o'er our head, A large and solemn temple frame, To celebrate its builder's fame. 3 Here the bright sun that rules the day, As thro' the sky he makes his way, To all the world proclaims aloud The boundless sov'reignty of God. 4 When from his courts the sun retires, And with the day his voice expires, The moon and stars adopt the song, And thro' the night the praise prolong. 5 The list'ning earth with rapture hears Th' harmonious music of the spheres; And all her tribes the notes repeat, That God is wise, and good, and great. 6 But man endow'd with nobler pow'rs, His God in nobler strains adores: His is the gift to know the song, As well as sing with tuneful tongue.

Communion with Christ at his Table

Fain would our hearts and voices raise A cheerful song of sacred praise. 2 But all the notes which mortals know, Are weak and languishing and low; Far, far above our humble songs, The theme demands immortal tongues. 3 Yet while around his board we meet, And worship at his glorious feet; O let our warm affections move, In glad returns of grateful love! 4 Let faith our feeble senses aid, To see thy wondrous love display'd, Thy broken flesh, thy bleeding veins, Thy dreadful agonizing pains. 5 Let humble penitential woe, With painful, pleasing anguish, flow; And thy forgiving smiles impart Life, hope, and joy, to every heart.

For the 5th of November

Author: Steele Hymnal: SHBA1792 #DXXXIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: To thee, almighty God, we bring Lyrics: 1 To thee, almighty God, we bring The humble tribute of our songs; O teach our thankful hearts to sing, Or praise will languish on their tongues. 2 While Britain (favor'd of the skies) Recalls the wonders God hath wrought; Let grateful joy adoring rise, And warm to rapture every thought. 3 When hell and Rome combin'd their power, And doom'd these isles their certain prey; Thy hand forbade the fatal hour, Their impious plots in ruin lay. 4 Again our restless cruel foes Resum'd, avow'd their black design; Again to save us God arose, And Britain own'd the hand divine. 5 Why, gracious God, is Britain sav'd? Why bless'd with liberty and light? Nor by fell tyranny enslav'd, Nor lost in superstition's night? 6 Not for our sake, we conscious own; A wretched, vile, ungrateful race: 'Tis done to make thy glory known; To show the wonders of thy grace. 7 The wonders of thy grace complete; Reform this wretched guilty land! Let thankful love, beneath thy feet, Confess thy kind, thy guardian hand! 8 Let every age adore thy name, While nature's circling wheels shall roll! Thy mercies every tongue proclaim, And sound thy praise from pole to pole.
