Thou hast conquered in the fight
Thou hast brought us life and light
Now no more can death appall
Now no more the grave enthrall;
Thou hast opened Paradise
And in Thee Thy Saints shall rise
Mighty Victim from the sky
Hell’s fierce powers beneath Thee lie;
Thou hast conquered in the fight
Thou hast brought us life and light;
Thou hast openеd Paradise
And in Thee Thy Saints shall rise
Alleluia!
