199. Alleluia! The Strife Is O'er

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

1 The strife is o'er, the battle done;
The victory of life is won;
The song of triumph has 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 are quickly sped,
He rises glorious from the dead;
All glory to our risen Head!
Alleluia!

4 Lord, by the stripes which wounded Thee,
From death's dread sting Thy servants free,
That we may live and sing to Thee:
Alleluia!

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Amen.
