My Lord, all grace supplying, O turn your face on me! 3 Your sinless soul's oppression was all for sinners' gain; mine, mine was the transgression, but yours the deadly pain: I bow my head, my Saviour, for I deserve your place; O grant to me your favour, and heal me by your grace. 4 What language shall I borrow to thank you, dearest Friend, for this your dying sorrow, your mercy without end? Lord, make me yours for ever: your servant let me be; and may I never, never betray your love for me. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE Text Sources: rev.

The middle wall is broken down, and all the world may enter in. 3 'Tis finished! All my guilt and pain, I want no sacrifice beside; for me, for me the Lamb is slain; 'tis finished! I am justified. 4 The reign of sin and death is o'er, and all may live from sin set free; Satan hath lost his mortal power; 'tis swallowed up in victory.
