I sing my Savior's wondrous death
by Isaac Watts·1707·Meter 8.6.8.6 (CM)
1
I sing my Savior's wondrous death,
He conquered when he fell:
"'Tis finished!" said his dying breath,
And shook the gates of hell.
2
"'Tis finished!" our Immanuel cries,
The dreadful work is done;
Hence shall his sovereign throne arise,
His kingdom is begun.
3
His cross a sure foundation laid
For glory and renown,
When through the regions of the dead
He passed to reach the crown.
4
Exalted at his Father's side
Sits our victorious Lord;
To heav'n and hell his hands divide
The vengeance or reward.
5
The saints, from his propitious eye,
Await their several crowns
And all the sons of darkness fly
The terror of his frowns.
