Hymn 203: Hark! the voice of love and mercy

E gb’ ohun ife at’ anu

  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!” 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!”
    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 glorious theme;
    All in earth, and all in heaven,
    Join to praise Emmanuel’s Name;
    Alleluia! Alleluia!
    Glory to the bleeding Lamb! Amin.
