It Is Finished! (Proctor)

lyricist: James Proctor (1826–1860)
Composer: Ira Sankey (1840–1908)

Nothing

ei­ther great or small—

Nothing

sin­ner

no;

Jesus died and paid it all

Long

long ago.

It is fin­ished! yes

in­deed

Finished

ev­ery jot;

Sinner

this is all you need

Tell me

is it not?

When He

from His lof­ty throne

Stooped to do and die

Everything was ful­ly done;

Hearken to His cry!

Weary

work­ing

bur­dened one

Wherefore toil you so?

Cease your do­ing; all was done

Long

long ago.

Till to Je­sus’ work you cling

By a sim­ple faith

Doing is a dead­ly thing—

Doing ends in death.

Cast your dead­ly do­ing down—

Down at Je­sus’ feet;

Stand in Him

in Him alone

Gloriously com­plete.
