Lyrics

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! 2 The powers of death have done their worst, but Christ their legions has dispersed. Let shouts of holy joy outburst. Alleluia! 3 The three sad days are 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 triumph 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! Final Ending: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Psalter Hymnal, (Gray)
