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! [Refrain]

2 Death's mightiest pow'rs have done their worst,
And Jesus has his foes dispersed;
Let shouts of praise and joy outburst:
Alleluia! [Refrain]

3 He closed the yawning gates of hell;
The bars from heav'n's high portals fell;
Let hymns of praise his triumph tell:
Alleluia! [Refrain]

4 On the third morn he rose again,
Glorious in majesty to reign;
O let us swell the joyful strain:
Alleluia! [Refrain]
