E1:_Al_le_lu_ia! Al_le_lu_ia! Al_le_lu_ia!/The strife is o'er, the bat_tle done;/The vic_to_ry of life is won;/The song of tri_umph has be_gun: _Al_le_lu_ia!
E2:_Al_le_lu_ia! Al_le_lu_ia! Al_le_lu_ia!/The powers of death have done their worst;/But Christ their le_gions hath dis_persed;/Let shouts of ho_ly joy out_burst: _Al_le_lu_ia!
E3:_Al_le_lu_ia! Al_le_lu_ia! Al_le_lu_ia!/The three sad days are quick_ly sped;/He ris_es glo_rious from the dead;/All glo_ry to our ris_en Head! _Al_le_lu_ia!
E4:_Al_le_lu_ia! Al_le_lu_ia! Al_le_lu_ia!/He closed the yawn_ing gates of hell;/The bars from heaven's high por_tals fell;/Let hymns of praise His tri_umphs tell!/_Al_le_lu_ia!
E5:_Al_le_lu_ia! Al_le_lu_ia! Al_le_lu_ia!/On the third morn He rose a_gain,/glo_rious in ma_jes_ty to reign./O let us swell the joy_ful strain: _Al_le_lu_ia!
E6:_Al_le_lu_ia! Al_le_lu_ia! Al_le_lu_ia!/Lord, by the stripes which wound_ed Thee,/From death's dread sting Thy ser_vants free,/That we may live, and sing to Thee: _Al_le_lu_ia!/
