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 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!
