lyrics
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,” Hear the dying Savior cry;
“It is finished, It is finished,” Hear the dying Savior cry.
“It is finished,” O what pleasure do these charming words afford; Heav’nly blessings, without measure, flow to us from Christ the Lord:
“It is finished, it is finished,” Saints the dying words record.
“It is finished, it is finished,” Saints the dying words record.
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,” Saints from hence your comfort draw.
“It is finished, it is finished,” Saints from hence your comfort draw.
Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs, Join to sing the pleasing theme;
Saints on earth, and all in heaven, Join to praise Emmanuel’s name:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory to the bleeding lamb!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory to the bleeding lamb!
