HYMN 43.

Hark! the voice of love and mercy
Sounds aloud from Calvary;
See! the rocks are rent asunder;
Darkness veils the mid-day sky;
It is finish'd, it is finish'd,
Hear the dying Saviour cry.

O what joy to helpless sinners
These triumphant words afford!
Heav'nly blessings without measure,
Flow to us through Christ the Lord:
It is finish'd, it is finish'd,
Saints, his dying words record.

All the types and shadows finish'd
Of the ceremonial law;
Man's redemption now completed,
Death and hell no more shall awe;
It is finish'd, it is finish'd,
Saints, from hence your comfort draw.

Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs;
Join the triumph to proclaim;
All on earth, and all in Heaven,
Join to praise the Saviour's Name.
Halelujah, Halelujah,
Halelujah, Praise the Lamb.
