Nothing either great or small—
Nothing, sinner, no;
Jesus did it, did it all,
Long, long ago.
Nothing, sinner, no;
Jesus did it, did it all,
Long, long ago.
“It is finished!” yes, indeed,
Finished every jot:
Sinner, this is all you need—
Tell me, is it not?
Finished every jot:
Sinner, this is all you need—
Tell me, is it not?

When He, from His lofty throne,
Stooped to do and die,
Everything was fully done;
Hearken to His cry:
Stooped to do and die,
Everything was fully done;
Hearken to His cry:
3
Weary, working, burdened one,
Wherefore toil you so?
Cease your doing; all was done
Long, long ago.
Wherefore toil you so?
Cease your doing; all was done
Long, long ago.

Till to Jesus’ work you cling
By a simple faith,
“Doing” is a deadly thing—
“Doing” ends in death.
By a simple faith,
“Doing” is a deadly thing—
“Doing” ends in death.
5
Cast your deadly “doing” down—
Down at Jesus’ feet;
Stand in Him, in Him alone,
Gloriously complete.
Down at Jesus’ feet;
Stand in Him, in Him alone,
Gloriously complete.

This is a true saying, and worthy of all acceptation!
I really appreciate that you have all the verses to the song. Some other websites and hymnals don't do that, and so one cannot hear the song as a whole, as it was originally written.
You do a wonderful work! You will be blessed for all the many hymns you put up. I am sure many will be saved by reading them!
