1. The strife is o’er, the battle done;
the victory of life is won;
the song of triumph has begun.
Alleluia!
2.The pow’rs of death have done their worst,
but Christ their legions hath dispersed:
let shouts of holy joy outburst.
Alleluia!
3. The three sad days are quickly sped;
he rises glorious from the dead:
all glory to our risen Head!
Alleluia!
4. Lord, by the stripes which wounded thee,
from death’s dread sting thy servants free,
that we may live and sing to thee.
Alleluia!

Updated Format! Beginning in November of 2016, we changed the way we formatted our PowerPoint files. The font is larger and the staff lines are bolder, making the songs easier to read from a greater distance, including smaller screens/monitors in the rear of the sanctuary.
All songs digitized previous to that date are in the "older" format.
