Original text and translations

English text 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 victory won. 2. 'Tis finished – all that heaven decreed, And all the ancient prophets said Is now fulfilled, as was designed, In me 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 – this my dying groan Shall sins of every kind atone: Millions shall be redeemed from death, By this my last expiring breath.

5. 'Tis finished – heaven is reconciled, And all the powers of darkness spoiled: Peace, love, and happiness again Return and dwell with sinful men. 6. 'Tis finished – let the joyful sound Be heard through all the nations round: 'Tis finished – let the echo fly Through heaven and hell, through earth and sky.
