Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
1 The strife is o’er, the battle done;
the victory of life is won;
the song of triumph has begun.
Hallelujah!
2 Death's mightiest powers have done their worst,
but Christ their legions has dispersed:
let shouts of praise and joy outburst.
Hallelujah!
3 The three sad days are quickly sped;
Christ rises glorious from the dead:
all glory to our risen Head!
Hallelujah!
4 Lord, from your wounds God's blessings spring:
free us, we pray, from deaths dread sting
that we may live, and ever sing
Hallelujah!
