LyicsHark! the voice of love and mercy
Sounds a-loud from Cal-va-ry;
See, it rends the rocks a-sun-der,
Shakes the earth, and vails the sky.
"It is finished!" It is fin-ised!"
Hear the dy-ing Sav-iour cry.
It is finished: O what pleasure
Do these precious words afford!
Heavenly blessings without measure
Flow to us from Christ the Lord.
It is finished:
Saints, the dying words record.
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:
Saints, from this your comfort draw.
