1 Hark! the voice of love and mercy
Sounds aloud from Calvary;
See, it rends the rocks asunder,
Shakes the earth, and veils the sky!
"It is finish'd!"
Hear the dying Saviour cry.
2 "It is finish'd!" O what pleasure
Do the precious words afford!
Heavenly blessings, without measure,
Flow to us from Christ the Lord.
"It is finish'd!"
Saints, the dying words record.
3 Finish'd all the types and shadows
Of the ceremonial law;
Finish'd all that God had promised!
Death and hell no more shall awe:
"It is finish'd!"
Saints from hence your comfort draw.
4 Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs;
Strike them to Emmanuel's Name;
All on earth, and all in heaven,
Join the triumph to proclaim.
Hallelujah!
Glory to the bleeding Lamb!
