THE WORK THAT SAVES, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Done is the work that saves
Last Line: The blood divine invites us near.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Done is the work that saves!
Once and forever done.
Finished the righteousness
That clothes the unrighteous one.
The love that blesses us below
Is flowing freely to us now.
The sacrlfice is o'er
The veil is rent in twain,
The mercy seat is red
With blood of victim slain;
Why stand we then without, in fear?
The blood divine invites us near.
