The Strife Is Over

The strife is over, it is done The victory of life is won The song of triumph has begun, Alleluia! The powers of death have done their worst For Christ the King Has bore our curse Let shouts of holy joy outburst, Alleluia! From death to life in three dark days He rolled the stone that sealed His grave Let hymns of triumph tell His praise, Alleluia! Our risen King is on His throne And soon His saints He'll welcome home All glory be to Christ alone, Alleluia! Alleluia! The day has dawned and death is slain The King of Kings will always reign Jesus has won the war The strife is over, the strife is over And in the darkest depths of pain Our living hope will be sustained Jesus Has won the war The strife is over, the strife is over Alleluia! Alleluia!
