Later, knowing that all was now completed

Because I do not hope to turn again
Because I do not hope
Because I do not hope to turn

and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said,

Because I do not hope to know
The infirm glory of the positive hour
Because I do not think
Because I know I shall not know
The one veritable transitory power

“I am thirsty.”

Because I cannot drink
There, where trees flower, and springs flow, for there is nothing again

A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips.

[I] pray to God to have mercy upon us
And pray that I may forget
These matters that with myself I too much discuss
Too much explain

When he had received the drink, Jesus said,

Because I do not hope to turn again
Let these words answer
For what is done, not to be done again
May the judgement not be too heavy upon us

“It is finished.”

Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death
Pray for us now and at the hour of our death.

With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
