Author: J. Evans (1748-1809) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #128 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Tune Key: B Flat Major Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of love and mercy
sounds aloud from Calvary;
see, it tears the temple curtain,
shakes the earth and veils the sky:
'It is finished, it is finished!' —
hear the dying Savior cry.
2 Finished - all the types and shadows
of the ceremonial law;
God fulfills what he has promised —
death and hell shall reign no more:
'It is finished, it is finished!' —
Christ has opened heaven's door.
3 Saints and angels shout his praises,
his great finished work proclaim;
all on earth, and all in heaven,
join to bless Emmanuel’s name:
'Alleluia, alleluia,
endless glory to the Lamb!' Topics: God, Saviour Suffering and Dying; Lent 5, The King and the Kingdom The Victory of the Cross Scripture: John 19:30 Languages: English Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE
