The Strife Is Over - Citizens

The strife is over, it is done

The victory of life is won

The song of triumph has begun

Alleluia

The powers of death have done their worst

For Christ the King has borne our curse

The shouts of holy joy outburst

Alleluia

From death to life in three dark days

He rolled the stone that sealed His grave

Let hymns of triumph tell His praise

Alleluia

Our risen King is on His throne

And soon His saints are welcome home

All glory be to Christ alone

Alleluia

Alleluia

The day is dawned and death is slain

The King of kings will always reign

Jesus has won the war

The strife is over, the strife is over

And in the darkest depths of pain

Our living hope will be sustained

Jesus has won the war

The strife is over, the strife is over

Alleluia
