1 ¡Rasgóse el velo! ya no más
distancia mediará,
Al trono mismo de su Dios
el alma llegará.

2 ¡Rasgóse el velo! sombras id!
la luz resplandeció;
La cara misma de su Dios,
Jesús ya reveló.

3 ¡Rasgóse el velo! hecha está

El alma pura y limpia ya
no teme perdición.

4 ¡Rasgóse el velo! Dios abrió
los brazos de su amor;
Entrar podemos donde entró
Jesús, el Salvador.
