11001. Finished Is The Battle Now

1 Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Finished is the battle now:
Crownèd is the Victor’s brow!
Hence with sadness! Sing with gladness,
Hallelujah!

2 Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
After sharp death Him befell,
Jesus Christ hath conquered hell.
Earth is singing, Heaven is ringing,
Hallelujah!

3 Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
On the third morning He arose,
Bright with victory o’er His foes.
Sing we lauding, and applauding,
Hallelujah!

4 Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
He hath closèd hell’s brazen door,
And Heav’n is open evermore!
Hence with sadness! Sing with gladness,
Hallelujah!

5 Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
By Thy wounds we call on Thee,
Now from death to set us free,
That our living be thanksgiving!
Hallelujah!
