Lyrics
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 has 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. He closed the yawning gates of hell; The bars from heaven’s high portals fell; Let hymns of praise His triumph tell. Alleluia!
