Lyrics:

The strife is o'er, the battle done:
Now is the Victor's triumph won:
O let the song of praise be sung: 
Alleluia.

Death's mightiest powers have done their worst,
And Jesus hath his foes dispersed;
Let shouts of praise and joy outburst:
Alleluia.

On the third morn he rose again,
Glorious in majesty to reign;
O let us swell the joyful strain:
Alleluia.

Lord, by the stripes which wounded thee
From death's dread sting thy servants free,
That we may live, and sing to thee:
Alleluia.  Amen.
