Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #421 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 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.
