Hark! a voice from heav’n proclaiming

Hark! a voice from heav’n proclaiming, “It is done.” Faith repeats the echo claiming, “It is done.” |
| Hear the message from the throne, Claim the promise, doubting one; God hath spoken, “It is done.” Faith has answered, “It is done.” Prayer is over, praise begun. Hallelujah, “It is done.” |

Hear the bleeding Savior crying, “It is done.” Claim His finished work, replying, “It is done.” |
|
3
|
Yield thyself in consecration, “It is done.” Take the Lord for full salvation, “It is done.” |
|
4
|
Claim the promise of His healing, “It is done.” Trust without a sign or feeling, “It is done.” |
|
5
|
Say of every promised blessing, “It is done.” Rest upon His word, confessing, “It is done.” |

This the secret of receiving, “It is done.” Take Him at His word believing, “It is done.” |
Thank the Lord. Those who have faith do not need to pray. Those who have faith are full of praises. Never say that prayer is a sign of faith. Please remember that, on the contrary, prayer is a sign of lack of faith. All experienced Christians know that where there is faith, there is praise. One hymn [Hymns, #690] says:
Hear the message from the throne,
Claim the promise, doubting one;
God hath spoken, "It is done."
Faith has answered, "It is done."
Prayer is over, praise begun.
Hallelujah, "It is done."
You cannot say, "It will be done." All those who say it will be done do not have faith. God said that everything is done. You also must say that everything is done. God said that He has accomplished everything, and I believe in this. This is all that matters.

We enjoyed the choice of this hymn for day 251 of the Beseeching prayer: Prayer for the saints to realize the importance of praising and to practice praising the Lord every day. David in Psalm 55:17 said he prayed to God three times a day. Yet in another psalm, he said that he praised God seven times a day. (119:164). We should praise God at least seven times a day. Do not let David beat us in his praise!
In the New Jerusalem, prayer will be over. Only praise will remain for eternity. This hymn declares this fact.
