Laudes Domini ‎#390

390. "It is finished!"

1 Hark! the voice of love and mercy
Sounds aloud from Calvary;
See!--it rends the rocks asunder,
Shakes the earth, and vails the sky:
"It is finished!"--
Hear the dying Saviour cry.

2 Now redemption is completed,
Sin atoned, the curse removed,
Satan, death, and hell defeated,
At his rising fully proved.
All is finished!
Here our hopes do rest unmoved.

3 Finished all the types and shadows
Of the ceremonial law;
Finished all that God has 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 in earth and heaven uniting,
Join to praise Immanuel's name:
Hallelujah!--
Glory to the bleeding Lamb!
