Lyrics

Verse 1

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Verse 2

The strife is o'er, the battle done; the victory of life is won; the song of triumph has begun. Alleluia!

Verse 3

The powers of death have done their worst, but Christ their legions has dispersed. Let shouts of holy joy outburst. Alleluia!

Verse 4

The three sad days are quickly sped; he rises glorious from the dead. All glory to our risen Head. Alleluia!

Verse 5

He closed the yawning gates of hell; the bars from heaven's high portals fell. Let hymns of praise his triumph tell. Alleluia!

Verse 6

Lord, by the stripes which wounded thee, from death's dread sting thy servants free, that we may live and sing to thee. Alleluia! Final Ending: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

The strife is o'er, the battle done | Hymnal
