63. 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!"
Hear the dying Savior cry!

2 "It is finished!"--Oh what pleasure
Do these charming words afford!
Heavenly blessings without measure,
Flow to us thorough Christ the Lord.
It is finished!--
Saints, the dying words record.

3 Finished all the types and shadows
Of the ceremonial law!
Finished, all that God had promised;
Death and hell no more shall awe.
It is finished!
Saints, from hence your comfort draw.

4 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!
Glory to the bleeding Lamb!
