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!
2 The powers 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.
Christ rises glorious from the dead:
All glory to our risen Head! Alleluia!
4 Lord, by Your wounds on Calvary
From death’s dread sting Your servants free,
That we may live eternally. Alleluia!
