Hark! the Voice of Love and Mercy

No. 242
(BRYN CALFARIA. 8.7.8.7.4.4.4.7.7)
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!
It is finished!"
Hear the dying Savior cry;
hear the dying Savior cry.

2.

"It is finished!" O what pleasure
do these precious words afford;
heav'nly blessings, without measure,
flow to us from Christ the Lord:
"It is finished!
It is finished!
It is finished!"
Saints the dying words record;
saints the dying words record.

3.

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!
It is finished!"
Saints, from hence your comfort draw;
saints, from hence your comfort draw.

4.

Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs,
join to sing the glorious theme;
all in earth, and all in heaven,
join to praise Emmanuel's name:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Glory to the bleeding Lamb!
Glory to the bleeding Lamb!
