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!
