Text: | The Strife is O'er the Battle Done |
Translator: | Rev. Francis Pott |
Tune: | PALESTRINA (VICTORY) |
Arranger: | William H. Monk |
Composer: | Palestrina |
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 has 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 triumph 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!
