A Selection of Psalms and Hymns ‎#CCCXIV

CCCXIV. Finished Redemption

1 Hark! the voice of love and mercy
Sounds aloud from Calvary!
See it rends the rocks asunder,
Shakes the earth and veil's the sky!
"It is finish'd!"
Hear the dying Saviour cry!

2 It is finish'd! O what pleasure
Do these charming words afford;
Heavenly blessings without measure,
Flow to us from Christ the Lord.
It is finish'd!
Saints, the dying words record.

3 Finish'd all the types and shadows
Of the ceremonial law!
Finish'd all that God hath promis'd:
Death and hell no more shall awe,
It is finish'd
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.
