The strife is o’er, the battle done;
Now
is the victor’s triumph won!
Now
be the song of praise begun: Alleluia!
Refrain
Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
2
The
powers of death have done their worst;
But
Christ their legions hath dispersed;
Let
shouts of holy joy outburst: Alleluia!
3
The
three sad days are quickly sped;
He
rises glorious from the dead;
All
glory to our risen head! Alleluia!
4
Lord,
by the stripes which wounded You,
From
death’s sting free Your servants too,
That
we may live, and sing to You: Alleluia!
