1 The strife is o'er, the battle done,
the victory of life is won;
the song of triumph has begun:
Alleluia!
2 The pow'rs of death have done their worst,
but Christ their legions hath 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 Lord, by the stripes which wounded Thee,
from death's dread sting Thy servants free,
that we may live, and sing to Thee:
Alleluia!
