A final cry resounds from Calvary’s hill,
“It is complete,” the dying Messiah proclaims;
The noon sun faints, the blackened heavens chill,
As cosmic sorrow breaks all earthly chains.
That very hour, the temple’s massive wall
Shakes to its base beneath a thunderous blow;
The heavy shroud is commanded to fall,
Ripped top to bottom by an unseen glow.
Twisted threads of scarlet, gold, and blue
Snap hard like cables under sudden strain;
The sacred tapestry is hacked in two,
Weeping its fringes in a golden rain.
The planet reels, the cracked foundations groan,
The bursting earth yields to a sudden dread;
The splitting tombs and shattered vaults of stone
Surrender up the long-forgotten dead.
Then falls a sudden hush, a breathless peace,
As nature holds its tongue and terrors cease.
The veil is torn, the sovereign path is clear
The dawn of grace has conquered every fear.

A final cry resounds from Calvary’s hill,
“It is complete,” the dying Messiah proclaims;
The noon sun faints, the blackened heavens chill,
As cosmic sorrow breaks all earthly chains.
That very hour, the temple’s massive wall
Shakes to its base beneath a thunderous blow;
The heavy shroud is commanded to fall,
Ripped top to bottom by an unseen glow.
Twisted threads of scarlet, gold, and blue
Snap hard like cables under sudden strain;
The sacred tapestry is hacked in two,
Weeping its fringes in a golden rain.
The planet reels, the cracked foundations groan,
The bursting earth yields to a sudden dread;
The splitting tombs and shattered vaults of stone
Surrender up the long-forgotten dead.
Then falls a sudden hush, a breathless peace,
As nature holds its tongue and terrors cease.
The veil is torn, the sovereign path is clear
The dawn of grace has conquered every fear.
