391. "All-atoning Sacrifice"

1 Oh, perfect life of love!
All, all is finished now,--
All that he left his throne above
To do for us below.

2 No work is left undone
Of all the Father willed;
His toil, his sorrows, one by one,
The Scriptures have fulfilled.

3 No pain that we can share
But he has felt its smart;
All forms of human grief and care
Have pierced that tender heart.

4 And on his thorn-crowned head,
And on his sinless soul,
Our sins in all their guilt were laid,
That he might make us whole.

5 In perfect love he dies;
For me he dies, for me;
O all-atoning Sacrifice,
I cling by faith to thee!
