Refrain:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
1 The strife is o'er, the battle done;
the victory of life is won;
the song of triumph has begun:
Alleluia! [Refrain]
2 The pow'rs of death have done their worst,
but Christ their legions hath dispersed;
let shout of holy joy outburst:
Alleluia! [Refrain]
3 The three sad days are quickly sped;
He rises glorious from the dead;
all glory to our risen Head:
Alleluia! [Refrain]
4 He closed the yawning gates of hell;
the bars of heav'n's high portals fell;
let hymns of praise His triumph tell.
Alleluia! [Refrain]
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! [Refrain]
