It is Finished

Words by Jonathan Evans, 1784; alt. - Music by William Owen, 1814-1893
My enunciation is not always the clearest, so here are the words:
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 Saviour cry;
Hear the dying Saviour 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!
