Finished Redemption
Jonathan Evans (1784) • English
Primary Scripture: Matthew 27:45-54
Verse 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!" "It is finished!" Hear the dying Savior cry; hear the dying Savior cry.
Verse 2
"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.
Verse 3
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!" "It is finished!" Saints, from hence your comfort draw; saints, from hence your comfort draw.
Verse 4
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!
