American Lutheran Hymnal ‎#421

421. 'Tis Finished! So The Savior Cried

1 'Tis finished! so the Savior cried,
And meekly bowed His head and died;
'Tis finished--yes, the race is run,
The battle fought, the vict'ry won.

2 'Tis finished! All that heav'n decreed
And all the ancient prophets said
Is now fulfilled, as was designed,
In Thee, the Savior of mankind.

3 'Tis finished! Aaron now no more
Must stain his robes with purple gore;
The sacred veil is rent in twain,
And Jewish rites no more remain.

4 'Tis finished! man is reconciled
To God and pow'rs of darkness spoiled:
Peace, love and happiness again
Return and dwell with sinful men.

5 'Tis finished! Let the joyful sound
Be heard through all the nations round;
'Tis finished! Let the echo fly
Thro' heav'n and hell, thro' earth and sky.

Amen.
