Hark! the Voice of Love and Mercy

lyricist: Jonathan Evans, 1784
Composer: William Owen, 1852

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 Sav­ior cry;

Hear the dy­ing Sav­ior 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.

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!

Alleluia! Glory to the bleed­ing Lamb!

Glory to the bleed­ing Lamb!
