Page:A Selection of Hymns Used in the Parish Church, and the Church of the Holy Trinity, Ulverston, Ed. by R. Daniel.djvu/36

 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.

Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes,

The Saviour promis'd long;

Let ev'ry heart prepare a throne,

And ev'ry voice a song.

He comes the pris'ners to release

In Satan's bondage held;

The gates of brass before him burst,

The iron fetters yield.
