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 hath 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 Lord, by the stripes which wounded Thee,
From death's dread sting Thy servants free,
That we may live and sing to Thee:
Alleluia!
