Translator: | Francis Pott |
Tune: | VICTORY |
Arranger: | William H. Monk |
Composer: | Giovanni P. da Palestrina |
1 The strife is o'er, the battle done;
The victory of life is won;
The song of triumph hath begun.
Alleluia!
2 The pow'rs of death have done their worst,
But Christ their legions hath 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 triumphs tell.
Alleluia!
5 Lord, by the stripes which wounded Thee,
From death's dread sting Thy servants free,
That we may live and sing to Thee.
Alleluia!
