133 – 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 powers 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 heaven’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!
