Listen from:
OH 17:4{His great promise has had its first fulfillment "unto Thee." It is a finished fact of sevenfold grace. The Lord has come, and His own voice has given the objects of His coming—"to do Thy will, O God"; to fulfill the law; "to call sinners to repentance"; "to seek and to save that which was lost"; "that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly"; "a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness." What He came to do He has done, for "He faileth not." On this we may and ought to rest quietly and undoubtingly, for "the Lord hath done it.”
For I know that what He doeth stands forever, fixed and true;
Nothing can be added to It, nothing left for us to do;
Nothing can be taken from it, done for me and done for you,
Evermore and evermore.
Listen now! the Lord hath done it! for He loved us unto death;
It is finished! He has saved us! Only trust to what He saith.
He hath done it! Come and bless Him, spend in praise your ransomed breath
Evermore and evermore.
