The beloved victory Choir!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
1. The strife is o'er, the battle done;
the victory of life is won;
the song of triumph has begun:
Alleluia!
2. The powers of death have done their worst,
but Christ their legions hath dispersed;
let shouts of holy joy outburst:
Alleluia!
3. The three sad days are quickly sped;
he rises glorious from the dead;
all glory to our risen Head!
Alleluia!
4. Lord, by the stripes which wounded thee,
from death's dread sting thy servants free,
that we may live, and sing to thee:
Alleluia!

Don't get me wrong. A pipe organ is my # 1 choice. Bad thing is, our pastor hates them and would rather play the guitar, so I have been going to a traditional church to hear the hymns that I miss!

If one were to actually perform an interpretation of this arrangement, a LOT of that would have to be covered by the organ.
