173. 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 finish'd!"

Hear the dying Savior cry!

2 "It is finish'd!"-O what pleasure Do those charming words afford! Heavenly blessings without measure, Flow to us from Christ the Lord: "It is finish'd!"

Saints, the dying words record.

3 Finish'd, all the types and shadows Cf the ceremonial law! Finish'd all that God had promised; Death and hell no more shall awe: "It is finish'd!"

Saints, from hence your comfort draw.

4 Happy souls, approach the table, Taste the soul-reviving food; Nothing's half so sweet and pleasant As the Savior's flesh and blood: "It is finish'd!"

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!

Glory to the bleeding Lamb,

174. The Judgment.

1 See the eternal Judge descending, Seated on his Father's throne; Now, poor sinner, Christ shall show thee

He is the eternal Son

Trumpets call thee!

Come, to hear thy awful doom.

2 Hear the sinner thus lamenting,
At the thoughts of future pain;
Cries and tears he now is venting,
But he cries and weeps in vain:
Greatly mourning

That he ne'er was born again.
3"Yonder stands the glorious Savior,
With the marks of dying love;
Oh, that I had sought his favor,
When I felt his Spirit move!
Doomed justly,

For I have against him strove. 4"All his warnings I have slighted, While he daily sought my soul; If some vows to him I plighted, Yet for sin I broke the whole: Golden moments,

How neglected did they roll!

5 "Yonder stand my godly neighbors, Who were once despised by me; They are clad in dazzling splendor, Waiting my sad fate to seeFarewell, neighbors;

Dismal gulf! I'm bound for thee!

6" Spirits, hail! who dwell in dark

ness,

Groaning, wailing in your chains; Christ has now denounced our sen tence,

We must dwell in endless pains: Awful judgment!

Hope will ne'er return again."

7 Now, despisers, look and wonder!
Hope and sinners here must part;
Louder than a peal of thunder,
Hear the dreadful sound, 'Depart!"
Lost, for ever!

How it quails the sinner's heart!

175. Happy Soul.

1 HAPPY soul, thy days are ended,
All thy mourning days below;
Go, by angel guards attended,
To the sight of Jesus go.
Hallelujah, &c.

2 Waiting to receive thy spirit,
Lo! the Savior stands above;
Shows the purchase of his merit,
Reaches out the crown of love.

3 Struggle through thy latest passion,

To thy great Redeemer's breast; To his uttermost salvation,

To his everlasting rest.

4 For the joy he sets before thee,
Bear a momentary pain;
Die to live a life of glory:
Suffer, with thy Lord to reign.

175. Hosanna to Christ.

1 HAIL! thou once despised Jesus, Hail, thou everlasting King! Thou didst suffer to redeem us; Thou didst free salvation bring.

2 Hail, thon agonizing Savior, Bearer of our sin and shame; By thy merits we find favor: Life is given through thy name.

3 Paschal Lamb, by God appoint ed,

All our sins on thee were laid: By almighty love anointed,

Thou hast full atonement made

4 All thy people are forgiven

Through the virtue of thy blood, Open'd is the gate of heaven; Peace is made 'twixt man and God.

5 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,
There for ever to abide!
All the heavenly host adore thee,
Seated at thy Father's side:

6 There for sinners thou art pleading,

There thou dost our place prepare: Ever for us interceding, Till in glory we appear.

7 Worship, honor, power, and blessing,

Thou art worthy to receive; Loudest praises without ceasing, Meet it is for us to give.

8 Help, ye bright angelic spirits, Bring your sweetest, noblest lays;

Help to sing our Savior's merits; Help to chant Immannel's praise.
