Allelúia, Allelúia, Allelúia! The strife is o'er, the battle done; Now is the Victor's triumph won; O let the song of praise be sung: Allelúia! |
| 2 |
Allelúia, Allelúia, Allelúia! Death thought His pow'r fore'er brought down, Yet Jesus doth all hell confound; Let voice of laud and joy resound: Allelúia! |
| 3 |
Allelúia, Allelúia, Allelúia! On the third morn He rose again, Glorious in majesty to reign; O let us swell the joyful strain: Allelúia! |
| 4 |
Allelúia, Allelúia, Allelúia! Lord, by the stripes which wounded Thee, From death's dread sting Thy servant's free, That we may live, and sing to Thee: Allelúia! |

Allelúia, Allelúia, Allelúia! |
