 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 Savior 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 

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!"

   Saints, from hence your comfort draw.

 

 4 

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!
