Author: Jonathan Evans Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #187 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.4.7.7 Lyrics: 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!"
"It is finished!"
Hear the dying Saviour cry;
Hear the dying Saviour cry.
2 "It is finished!" O what pleasure
Do these precious words afford;
Heav'nly blessings, without measure,
Flow to us from Christ the Lord:
"It is finished!"
"It is finished!"
"It is finished!"
Saints the dying words record;
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!"
"It is finished!"
"It is finished!"
Saints, from hence your comfort draw;
Saints, from hence your comfort draw.
4 Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs,
Join to sing the glorious theme;
All in earth, and all in heaven,
Join to praise Emmanuel's Name:
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Glory to the bleeding Lamb!
Glory to the bleeding Lamb!
Amen. Topics: Angels; Christ, The Lord Jesus; Christ Death of; Death Conquered Scripture: John 19:30 Languages: English Tune Title: BRYN CALFARIA
