Gelobt sei Gott by Andrew Sims — Lyrics
The strife is o'er, the battle done;
Now is the Victor's triumph won;
Now let the song of praise be sung,
'Alleluia!'
The powers of death have done their worst,
But Christ their legions hath dispersed;
Let shouts of holy joy outburst,
'Alleluia!'
The three sad days have quickly sped;
He rises glorious from the dead;

About Gelobt sei Gott
Andrew Sims sets the Easter hymn The strife is o'er, the battle done. This well-known English text celebrates Christ's victory over death and His resurrection. The music is scored for solo voice with descant, suitable for a single treble voice to carry the melody aloft. The sacred nature of the text is reflected in its triumphant Alleluias, proclaiming the joy of Easter morning. This setting would be an effective, relatively simple addition to a service or concert program, drawing the listener into the Easter narrative.
