The strife is o’er the battle done
The victory of life is won
The song of triumph has begun
Hallelujah
The powers of death have done their worst
But Christ their legions has dispersed
Let shouts of holy joy outburst
Hallelujah
The three sad days have quickly sped
He rises glorious from the dead
All glory to our risen Head
Hallelujah
He broke the bonds of death and hell
The bars from heaven’s high portals fell
Let hymns of praise His triumph tell
Hallelujah
Lord by the stripes which wounded Thee
From death’s dread sting Thy servants free
That we may live and sing to Thee
Hallelujah
