Refrain:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

1 The strife is o'er, the battle done;
now is the victor's triumph won;
now be the song of praise begun:
Alleluia!

2 The pow'rs of death have done their worst,
but Christ their legions has dispersed.
Let shouts of holy joy outburst:
Alleluia!

3 The three sad days have quickly sped,
he rises glorious from the dead.
All glory to our risen Head:
Alleluia!

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!

5 By your deep wounds, O risen King,
come set us free from death's dread sting,
that we may live and ever sing:
Alleluia! [Refrain]
