1 Finished the strife of battle now,
gloriously crowned the Victor’s brow;
sing with gladness, hence with sadness:
Alleluia, alleluia.

2 After the death that him befell,
Jesus Christ has harrowed hell:
songs of praising we are raising:
Alleluia, alleluia.

3 On the third morning he arose,
shining with victory o’er his foes;
earth is singing, heaven is ringing:
Alleluia, alleluia.

4 Lord, by your wounds on you we call:
now that from death you've freed us all:
may our living be thanksgiving:
Alleluia, alleluia.
