Author: Francis Pott, 1832-1909 Hymnal: Christian Worship #452 (2021) Meter: 8.8.8 with refrain Hymnal Title: Christian Worship Refrain First Line: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia Lyrics: Refrain:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
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,
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 He closed the yawning gates of hell;
the bars from heav'n's high portals fell.
Let hymns of praise his triumph tell:
Alleluia!
5 By your deep wounds, O risen King,
come set us free from death's dread sting,
that we may live and ever sing:
Alleluia! [Refrain]
