Christ My Song - 215
Hark! the voice of love and mercy - Finished Redemption
(Jonathan Evans/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Finished Redemption.
1. 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 Saviour cry.
"It is finished! It is finished!"

2. "It is finished!" O 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.
"It is finished! It is finished!"
saints, the dying words record.
3. 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.
"It is finished! It is finished!"
saints, from hence your comfort draw.
4. Happy souls, approach the table,
taste the soul-reviving food;
nothing half so sweet and pleasant
as the Saviour's flesh and blood:
"It is finished! It is finished!"
Christ has borne the heavy load.
"It is finished! It is finished!"
Christ has borne the heavy load.
5. 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!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Glory to the bleeding Lamb!
Jonathan Evans (?), in: Philip Schaff, Christ in Song, 1870, 157-158.
