Now, now the arduous work is o'er,
Redemption's price is paid:
Jesus has borne the mighty load;
On him our guilt was laid.
What boundless wrath did he endure,
When for imputed sin,
His people's debts were all transferred,
And centred all in him.
“Let now Omnipotence itself
Say, if ought more is due;
And I, the direful conflict past,
Will yet for them renew.”
“Let heaven produce its equal scales,
To weigh my people's wrong,
And if my payment yet prove short,
My dying pangs prolong.”
“Father, I lie beneath thy stroke;
The blow I will not shun,
'Till thou proclaim to choirs on high,
Redemption's work is done.”
“I yield not up my final breath,
Nor bow my sinking head,
'Till to the bright, angelic hosts,
The cancelled bond be spread.”
“That mixture of almighty wrath,
My lips did patient drain;
'Tis finished, nor of its sad dregs,
Does one small drop remain.”
“Father, the awful deed discharge,
And nail it to the tree;
That to the closing hour of time,
The ransomed may go free.”
