250. 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!"
"It is finished!"
Hear the dying Saviour cry.

2 "It is finished!"--Oh, 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.
