African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal ‎#134

134. Hark! The Voice of Love and Mercy

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 finished, it is finished,"
Hear the dying Savior cry.

2 "It is finished!" O what pleasure
Do these precious words afford!
Heavenly blessings without measure,
Flow to us from Christ the Lord.
"It is finished, it is finished."
Saints, the dying words record.

3 Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs,
Join to sing the pleasing theme;
All on earth and all in heaven
Join to praise Immanuel's name!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Glory to the bleeding Lamb!

Amen.
