Hymn 388
The strife is past, the battle done

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

3. 2
Death’s mightiest powers have done their worst,
and Jesus has his foes dispersed –
let shouts of praise and joy outburst
Hallelujah!

4. 3
On the third day, he rose again,
glorious in majesty to reign –
sing out with joy the glad refrain,
Hallelujah!

5. 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!
