Suffering & Death of Jesus · Hymn 311 · 8.7.8.7.4.7
Hark! The voice of love and mercy
It is finished. John 19:30
1.
Hark! The voice of love and mercy
Sounds aloud from Calvary
See, it rends the rock 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 the wondrous words afford
Heav’nly blessings without measure
Flow to us through Christ the Lord
“It is finished” “It is finished”
Saints the dying words record
3.
Finished all the types and shadows
Of the ceremonial law
Finished what our God had promised
Death and hell no more need awe
“It is finished” “It is finished”
Saints, from hence your comfort draw
4.
Tune your harps anew, ye Seraphs
Strike them to Emmanuel’s name
All on earth and all in Heaven
Join the triumph to proclaim
“It is finished” “It is finished”
Glory to the bleeding Lamb
Amen
