Devotion for Friday, April 1

The Strife is O'er, the Battle Done

The strife is o'er the battle done
The victory of life is won
The song of triumph has begun
Hallelujah

The powers of death have done their worst

But Christ their legions has dispersed
Let shouts of holy joy outburst
Hallelujah

The three sad days have quickly sped

He rises glorious from the dead
All glory to our risen Head
Hallelujah

He broke the bonds of death and hell

The bars from heaven's high portals fell
Let hymns of praise His triumph tell
Hallelujah

Lord by the stripes which wounded Thee

From death's dread sting Thy servants free
That we may live and sing to Thee
Hallelujah

  • Francis Pott | Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina | William Henry Monk
