1 The strife is o’er, the battle done;
now is the victor's triumph won!
Now be the song of praise begun.
Alleluia!
2 The pow'rs of death have done their worst;
Jesus their legions has dispersed.
Let shouts of holy joy outburst.
Alleluia!
3 The three sad days have quickly sped,
Christ rises glorious from the dead.
All glory to our risen head!
Alleluia!
4 Christ closed the yawning gates of hell;
the bars from heav'n’s high portals fell.
Let hymns of praise his triumph tell.
Alleluia!
5 Lord, by the stripes which wounded you,
from death’s dread free your servants too,
that we may live and sing to you.
Alleluia!
