Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! The strife is over the battle done; The victory of life is won; The song of triumph has begun, Alleluia.

The powers of death have done their worst But Christ their legions hath dispersed, Lets shouts of holy joy outburst. Alleluia.

The three sad says have quickly sped, He rises glorious from the dead, All glory to our risen Head, Alleluia.

He brake the age bound chains of hell, The bars from heaven's high portals fell, Let hymns of praise His triumph tell; Alleluia!

Lord, by the strips which wounded Thee, From death's dread sting Thy servant free, That we may live, and sing to Thee, Alleluia!
