452. Alleluia! The Strife Is O'er

Refrain:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

1 The strife is o'er, the battle done;
Now is the Victor's triumph won;
O let the song of praise be sung:
Alleluia! [Refrain]

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

3 O risen Lord, to you we sing.
You set us free from death's cold sting
That all creation's song may ring:
Alleluia! [Refrain]
