It Is Finished! Man of Sorrows

lyricist: Frederick Hedge, 1853
Composer: Corner’s Gesangbuch, 1625

It is fin­ished! Man of sor­rows!

From Thy cross our frail­ty bor­rows

Strength to bear and con­quer thus.

While ex­tend­ed there

we view Thee:

Mighty Suf­fer­er

draw us to Thee

Sufferer vic­tor­ious!

Not in vain for us up­lift­ed:

Man of Sor­rows

won­der gift­ed

May that sac­red em­blem be.

Lifted high amid the ag­es:

Guide of he­roes

saints

and sag­es

May it guide us still to Thee.

Still to Thee

whose love un­bound­ed

Sorrow’s depth’s for us has sound­ed

Perfected by con­flicts sore.

Honored be Thy cross for­ev­er:

Star

that points our high en­dea­vor

Whither Thou hast gone be­fore!
