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!’ Hear the dying Saviour cry.
‘It is finished!’ O what pleasure Do the wondrous words afford! Heavenly blessings without measure Flow to us through 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.
Saints and angels sing His praises! His atoning work proclaim; All on earth and all in Heaven Join to praise Emmanuel’s name! Hallelujah! Endless glory to the Lamb!
Jonathan Evans, 1748-1809
