With happy hearts and joyful song,
Again we hail thy blessed dawn,
O, Easter day, thou day light
When Jesus rose dispelling night
Chorus
The strife is o'er, the victory won,
And heaven's day, of joy begun,
Death of its sting is robbed for aye,
For Christ is King today.
From Joseph's tomb the conq'ring King,
Came forth the gift of life to bring
Tho' human might the stone had sealed,
The sun's first ray His pow'r revealed
#Chorus
With shining hosts before the throne
We hail Him Lord and King alone,
Whose glory still illumes the grave,
Who vanguished death and lives to save
#Chorus
"The Strife is O'er"
