The sonnet, “The Triumphant Glory of Salvation’s Boundless Grace-Filled Gift,” celebrates the immense, unearned gift of salvation through Christ’s sacrifice. It portrays salvation as a divine, triumphant act that breaks sin’s chains and frees the soul from death. The poem emphasizes the incomprehensible depth of God’s love, manifested at the cross where mercy and wrath converge, redeeming the lost. It evokes awe and worship, with souls rising to praise Christ, the eternal King. The sonnet concludes with the enduring light of grace and Christ’s act of crowning repentant souls with righteousness, inspiring heartfelt adoration.

O gift of grace, salvation’s triumph grand,
From Heaven’s throne, by God’s own mercy sent.
It breaks the chains of sin with sovereign hand,
And frees the soul from death’s imprisonment.
No heart can fathom love so vast, so deep,
That Christ, through blood, would pay our wretched cost.
His cross, where wrath and mercy’s rivers meet,
Redeems the broken, saves the fully lost.

In awe, we rise, our spirits soar to sing,
Of Him, the Lamb, our everlasting King.
Through endless ages, grace’s light will shine,
A beacon of the Savior’s love divine.
O Lord of Glory, hailed by hearts sincere,
Repentant souls You crown with righteousness.

Summary of Hymn: He Is Risen, Glorious King

The hymn is a triumphant and glorious Easter celebration, consisting of six stanzas and a refrain, centered on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Each stanza highlights a key aspect of the Easter narrative: the empty tomb, Christ’s victory over death, the angelic proclamation, and the eternal hope His resurrection brings. The tone is exultant, emphasizing Christ’s power, the defeat of sin and death, and the call to praise Him. The refrain, “He is not here, He is risen, just as He said! From death to life, our Lord has boldly led! Alleluia, let the heavens ring, All praise and honor to our risen King!” reinforces the central message of Christ’s resurrection as promised, His leadership from death to life, and the universal call to worship the risen King. The hymn inspires joy, hope, and worship, uniting heaven and earth in praise of the victorious Savior.

Stanza 1
The stone is rolled, the tomb is bare,
The dawn of glory fills the air!
No death could hold the Lord of light,
He reigns in everlasting might.

Refrain
He is not here, He is risen, just as He said!
From death to life, our Lord has boldly led!
Alleluia, let the heavens ring,
All praise and honor to our risen King!

Stanza 2
The angels sing, the heavens blaze,
His triumph echoes through all days.
The chains of sin are torn apart,
He lives to heal the broken heart.

Refrain
He is not here, He is risen, just as He said!
From death to life, our Lord has boldly led!
Alleluia, let the heavens ring,
All praise and honor to our risen King!

Stanza 3
O death, where is your sting, your might?
The cross has birthed eternal light!
Our King has crushed the serpent’s head,
And life now springs where once was dread.

Refrain
He is not here, He is risen, just as He said!
From death to life, our Lord has boldly led!
Alleluia, let the heavens ring,
All praise and honor to our risen King!

Stanza 4
The women came at break of day,
And heard the angel’s words convey:
“Your Lord is risen, see the place,
Go tell the world His saving grace!”

Refrain
He is not here, He is risen, just as He said!
From death to life, our Lord has boldly led!
Alleluia, let the heavens ring,
All praise and honor to our risen King!

Stanza 5
Now every heart with hope shall sing,
To Christ, our glorious, risen King!
His victory ours, we rise anew,
His promise ever strong and true.

Refrain
He is not here, He is risen, just as He said!
From death to life, our Lord has boldly led!
Alleluia, let the heavens ring,
All praise and honor to our risen King!

Stanza 6
All heaven and earth in chorus join,
To praise the One who death destroyed!
Forevermore His name we’ll sing,
Our Savior, Lord, and conquering King!

Refrain
He is not here, He is risen, just as He said!
From death to life, our Lord has boldly led!
Alleluia, let the heavens ring,
All praise and honor to our risen King

“It is Finished”: Divine Atonement Fully Wrought by Debbie Harris

The sonnet, titled “It is Finished”: Divine Atonement Fully Wrought”, is a Shakespearean sonnet (14 lines, iambic pentameter, rhyme scheme ABABCDCDEFEFGG) that celebrates the completed work of Jesus Christ on the cross, as declared by his words “It is finished” (John 19:30). Written in a majestic tone, it uses exalted, biblical imagery to convey the divine triumph and sufficiency of Jesus’ sacrifice, which paid the debt of sin, fulfilled God’s law, and secured eternal life for believers.

The poem begins with Jesus’ cry on the cross, signaling the completion of his redemptive work, symbolized by the tearing of the temple veil (lines 1–2). It describes his sacrifice as a perfect, unassailable act that settles humanity’s sin debt and eliminates the need for further sacrifices (lines 3–5). The cross breaks the power of death, ushering in enduring grace and guidance (lines 6–8). The sonnet then reflects on the fulfillment of the law, the reversal of sin’s curse, and the unique achievement of Christ’s love in opening a path to God (lines 9–11). The final couplet (lines 13–14) affirms the certainty and completeness of the sacrifice, assuring believers of eternal life through faith, with no need for sorrow.

Upon the cross, the Savior’s voice did cry,
“It is finished,” words that rend the veil,
A perfect work no mortal could assail,
For sin’s grim debt was paid to God on high.
No further blood need flow, no lamb must die,
His sacrifice has broken death’s cold jail,
And grace, through him, shall evermore prevail,
A light to guide where shadows once did lie.
The law fulfilled, the curse of sin undone,
His love has wrought what none could e’er achieve,
A path to God through Christ, the risen Son.
By faith we stand, no need to mourn or grieve,
For all is done, his sacrifice is sure,
Through Christ’s great work, eternal life is won.
