Christ My Song - 777
'Tis finished all – our souls to win - Our Friend in heaven
(Sir Edward Denny/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Our Friend in heaven.
"I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do."
(John 17,4)
1. 'Tis finished all – our souls to win,
his life the blessed Jesus gave;
then, rising left his people's sin
behind him in the opening grave. PDF - Midi
2. Past suffering now, the tender heart
of Jesus, on his Father's throne,
still in o u r sorrow bears a part,
and feels it as he felt his own.
3. Sweet thought! we have a friend above,
our weary falt'ring steps to guide,
who follows with the eye of love
the little flock for whom he died.
4. O Jesus, teach us more and more
on thee alone to cast our car;
and, gazing on thy cross, adore
the wondrous grace that brought thee there.
Sir Edward Denny, Hymns and Poems, 1870, 48-49.
