’Tis Done! That New and Heavenly Birth

lyricist: Henry Baker, 1861
Composer: Hamburg, 1690

’Tis done! that new and heav’n­ly birth

Which re-cre­ates the sons of earth

Has cleansed from guilt of Ad­am’s sin

A soul which Je­sus died to win.

’Tis done! the cross up­on the brow

Is marked for weal or sor­row now

To shine with heav’n­ly lus­ter bright

Or burn in ev­er­last­ing night.

O ye who came that babe to lay

Within a Sav­ior’s arms today

Watch well and guard with care­ful eye

The heir of im­mor­tal­ity.

Teach him to know a Fa­ther’s love

And seek for hap­pi­ness above

To Christ his heart and trea­sures give

And in the Spir­it ev­er live.

That so be­fore the judg­ment seat

In joy and tri­umph ye may meet;

The bat­tle fought

the strug­gle o’er

The king­dom yours for­ev­er­more.

Praise God

from whom all bless­ings flow

Praise Him

all crea­tures here be­low

Praise Him above

an­gel­ic host

Praise Fa­ther

Son

and Ho­ly Ghost.
