NEWPORT NEWS - Cecil Randolph
Baines, Jr. passed away suddenly on June 20th, 2020.

Cecil and Nancy
were active square dancers and traveled up and down the East Coast participating
in competitions for many years. They were also avid fans of ODU's Women's
Basketball team and went to countless games both home and away. In their later
years, they spent a lot of time at the cabin they built themselves at Lake
Gaston. It gives us great comfort to think that Cecil is now happily reunited with his sweetheart Nancy. With the COVID-19 spread, a private celebration of Cecil's life will be held on Saturday, July 18, 2020. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you donate to Warwick Memorial United Methodist Church, 38 Hoops Rd, Newport News, VA 23602. Online
condolences may be shared with the family at

The Strife Is O'er, the Battle Done
Text: Anonymous Latin; translated by Francis Pott (1832-1909)
Music: Giovanni P. da Palestrina; arranged by W.H. Monk (1823-1889)
Tune: VICTORY, Meter: 888 with Alleluias
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The strife is o'er, the battle done,
the victory of life is won;
the song of triumph has begun.
Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The powers of death have done their worst,
but Christ their legions hath dispersed:
let shout of holy joy outburst.
Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The three sad days are quickly sped,
he rises glorious from the dead:
all glory to our risen Head!
Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
He closed the yawning gates of hell,
the bars from heaven's high portals fell;
let hymns of praise his triumphs tell!
Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Lord! by the stripes which wounded thee,
from death's dread sting thy servants free,
that we may live and sing to thee.
Alleluia!
