Text:Hark! the voice of love and mercy
Author:Rev. Jonathan Evans

226. 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 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!"
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 in earth, and all in heaven,
Join to praise Emmanuel's Name:
Alleluia!
Glory to the bleeding Lamb.

Amen.
