Author: Francis Pott, 1832-1909 Hymnal: Catholic Book of Worship III #395 (1994) First Line: The strife is o'er, the battle done Lyrics: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
1 The strife is o'er, the battle done;
Now is the victor's triumph won;
O let the song of praise be sung!
Alleluia!
2 The pow'rs have done their worst;
But Jesus has his foes dispersed;
Let shouts of joy and praise outburst!
Alleluia!
3 Lord, by the stripes which wounded you,
From death's sting free your servants too,
That we may live and sing to you.
Alleluia!
4 On the third morn you rose again,
Glorious in majesty to reign;
O let us swell the joyful strain!
Alleluia!
