Fought the fight, the battle won: Hallelujah!
Lo! our Sun’s eclipse is o’er; Hallelujah!
Lo! he sets in blood no more. Hallelujah!
Verse 3. Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Hallelujah!
Christ hath burst the gates of hell: Hallelujah!
Death in vain forbids his rise, Hallelujah!
Christ hath opened paradise. Hallelujah!

Foll’wing our exalted head: Hallelujah!
Made like him, like him we rise: Hallelujah!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Hallelujah!
