395. The Strife Is O'er

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

1 The strife is o'er, the battle done;
Now is the victor's triumph won;
O let the song of praise be sung!
Alleluia!

2 The pow'rs have done their worst;
But Jesus has his foes dispersed;
Let shouts of joy and praise outburst!
Alleluia!

3 Lord, by the stripes which wounded you,
From death's sting free your servants too,
That we may live and sing to you.
Alleluia!

4 On the third morn you rose again,
Glorious in majesty to reign;
O let us swell the joyful strain!
Alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
