451. 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;
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]
