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:

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—

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,

G. The Work of His All-inclusive Death Finished
John 19:30 says, “Then when Jesus had taken the vinegar, He said, It is finished! And He bowed His head and delivered up His spirit. ” The Lord worked continually until He was put on the cross (5:17). But even in His crucifixion the Lord was still working. How do we know that He was still working on the cross? Because before He died, He said, “It is finished! ” While He was being crucified, He was still working for the redemption of sinners, for the destruction of the serpent, for the release of the divine life, and for the accomplishment of God’s eternal purpose. At the last minute, after everything had been accomplished, He declared to the whole universe, “It is finished! ” Then He died and entered into rest. Praise the Lord Jesus! Only He could do this. Through His crucifixion He finished the work of His all-inclusive death by which He accomplished redemption, terminated the old creation, and released His resurrection life to bring forth the new creation to fulfill God’s purpose. In the process of death, He proved to His opposers and His believers by the way He behaved, that He was life. The dreadful environment of death did not frighten Him in the least. Rather, it provided a contrast, which proved strongly that He, as life, was versus death and could not be affected by death in any way.

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!
