Hymn
Finished Redemption
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 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.
Finished, all the types and shadows
Of the ceremonial law!
Finished all that God has 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.
