1. The strife is o'er, the battle done; The victory of life is won; The song of triumph has begun: Alleluia! 2. The pow'rs of death have done their worst, But Christ their legions has 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. Lord, by the stripes which wounded Thee, From death's dread sting Thy servants free, That we may live and sing to Thee: Alleluia!
