“O sing unto the LORD a new song; of He hath done marvelous thing” -Psalm 98:1.
1 Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
The strife is over the battle done;
The victory of life is won;
The song of triumph has begun, Alleluia.
2 The powers of death have done their worst
But Christ their legions hath dispersed,
Lets shouts of holy joy outburst. Alleluia.
3 The three sad says have quickly sped,
He rises glorious from the dead,
All glory to our risen Head, Alleluia.
4 He brake the age bound chains of hell,
The bars from heaven’s high portals fell,
Let hymns of praise His triumph tell; Alleluia!
5 Lord, by the strips which wounded Thee,
From death’s dread sting Thy servant free,
That we may live, and sing to Thee,
Alleluia!
