Author: Jonathan Evans Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 549 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of love and mercy
sounds aloud from Calvary;
see, it tears the temple curtain,
shakes the earth and veils the sky:
“It is finished, it is finished!”--
hear the dying Savior cry.
2 Finished--all the types and shadows
of the ceremonial law;
God fulfills what he has promised--
death and hell shall reign no more:
“It is finished, it is finished!”--
Christ has opened heaven's door.
3 Saints and angels shout his praises,
his great finished work proclaim;
all on earth, and all in heaven,
join to bless Emmanuel’s name:
"Alleluia, alleluia,
endless glory to the Lamb!"
