Sabbath Psalm (January 18-19) (Adapted from the Latin hymn “The Strife is Over,” translated by Francis Pott)

The strife is over—the battle done,
The victory of life is won;
The song of triumph has begun:
Allelujah!

The powers of death have done their worst,
But Christ their legions has dispersed;
Let shouts of holy joy outburst:
Allelujah!

The three dark days have quickly sped,
He rises glorious from the dead;
All glory to our risen Head!
Allelujah!

He closed the yawning gates of hell,
The bars from heaven’s portals fell;
Let hymns of praise His triumphs tell:

Allelujah!

Oh praise the love that reaches me!
The hands that bled to set me free!
The wounds of deepest empathy!

Allelujah!
