Hark! The Voice Of Love And Mercy

Words by Jonathan Evans


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 Saviour cry;
Hear the dying Saviour cry.

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.

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.

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! Alleluia!
Endless glory to the Lamb;
Endless glory to the Lamb!"
