The strife is past, the battle done Hymn 388 The strife is past, the battle done

1 The strife is past, the battle done; now is the victor’s triumph won – O let the song of praise be sung: Hallelujah!

2 Death’s mightiest powers have done their worst, and Jesus has his foes dispersed – let shouts of praise and joy outburst Hallelujah!

3 On the third day, he rose again, glorious in majesty to reign – sing out with joy the glad refrain, Hallelujah!

Forgive, dear Lord, our wounding you, from evil’s power free us anew, 4 Forgive, dear Lord, our wounding you, from evil’s power free us anew, that we may sing, in lives more true, Hallelujah! Francis Pott 1832 - 1909
