Hark! the voice of love and mercy

lyricist: Jonathan Evans
Composer: Henry Thomas Smart

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.

“It is finished!” Oh

what pleasure

Do these charming words afford!

Heavenly blessings without measure

Flow to us from Christ

the Lord:

“It is finished!” “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!” “It is finished!”

Saints

from hence your comfort draw.

Tune your harps anew

ye seraphs

Join to sing the pleasing theme;

All on earth and all in heaven

Join to praise Immanuel’s name:

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Glory to the bleeding Lamb!
