the strife is o'er

the strife is o'er, the battle done
the victory alive has won
the song of triumph has begun
alleluia, alleluia

the powers of death have done their worst
but christ's allegiance hath dispersed
the shouts of hope, joy outburst
alleluia, alleluia

alleluia, alleluia
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

the three sad days are quickly spent
he rises glorious from the dead
a glory to our risen Head
alleluia, alleluia

alleluia, alleluia
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

he closed the yawning gates of hell
the bars from hands high portals fell
that songs of praise his triumph tell
alleluia, alleluia

Lord, by the stripes which wounded Thee
from death's dread sting your servants free
that we may live and sing to Thee
alleuia, alleluia

alleluia, alleluia
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
