Refrain:
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! [Refrain]

2 The pow'rs of death have done their worst,
but Christ their legions hath dispersed;
let shouts of holy joy outburst:
alleluia! [Refrain]

3 The three sad days are quickly sped;
He rises glorious from the dead:
all glory to our risen Head:
alleluia! [Refrain]

4 He closed the yawning gates of hell;
the bars of heav'n's high portals fell:
let hymns of praise His triumphs tell:
alleluia! [Refrain]

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! [Refrain]
