Lyrics:
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!
2. On the third morn he rose again, glorious in majesty to reign; O let us swell the joyful strain: Alleluia!
3. O Risen Lord, all praise to thee, who from our sin has set us free, that we may live eternally! Alleluia!
