Enter’d upon His final scene

Verse 1
Entred upon his final scene
He sees the joy before him set,
O’relooks the shame and pain between,
And hastes his great reward to meet;
The vict’ory is already won,
Already of the prize possest
He reigns as on his Father’s throne,
He triumphs in his Father’s breast!

Verse 2
Redemption’s wondrous work is wrought,
(The Lamb from earth’s foundation died)
The debt is paid, the pardon bought,
The righteous God is satisfied:
His wrongs repair’d, his law fulfil’d,
His Power, and Wisdom from above,
His Truth shines forth in Christ reveal’d,
His perfect Holiness and Love!
