Verse 1
The strife is o'er, the battle done;
now is the Victor's triumph won;
oh, let the song of praise be sung:
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Verse 2
Death's mightiest pow'rs have done their worst,
and Jesus hath his foes dispersed;
let shouts of praise and joy outburst:
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Verse 3
On the third morn he rose again
glorious in majesty to reign;
oh, let us swell the joyful strain:
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Verse 4
Lord, by the stripes which wounded thee
from death's dread sting thy servants free,
that we may live, and sing to thee:
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
