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 borne our curse
The 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
The day is 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
