Refrain: 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! (Refrain)

2 The pow'rs of death have done their worst;
But Christ their legions hath dispersed;
Let shouts of holy joy outburst: Alleluia! (Refrain)

3 The three sad days have quickly sped;
He rises glorious from the dead;
All glory to our risen Head! Alleluia! (Refrain)

4 He closed the yawning gates of hell;
The bars from heav'n's high portals fell;
Let hymns of praise his triumph tell: Alleluia! (Refrain)

5 Lord, by the strips which wounded thee
From death’s dread sting Thy servants free,
That we may live and sing to Thee: Alleluia! (Refrain)
