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!"
Hear the dying Saviour cry.
2 "It is finished!" O what pleasure
Do these charming words afford!
Heavenly blessings without measure,
Flow to us from Christ the Lord:
"It is finished!" "It is finished!"
Saints, the dying words record.
3 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! Hallelujah!
Glory to the bleeding Lamb.
AMEN.
