THE strife is o?er, the battle done;
Now is the victor?s triumph won;
Now be the song of praise begun:
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 have quickly sped;
He rises glorious from the dead:
All glory to our risen head!
Alleluia!
4 He closed the yawning gates of Hell;
The bars from Heaven?s high portals fell;
Let hymns of praise his triumphs tell.
Alleluia!
5 Lord, by the stripes which wounded thee,
From death?s dread sting thy servants free,
That we may live and sing to thee.
Alleluia!
