2426. He Is Arisen! Glorious Word!

He is arisen! Glorious word!
Now reconciled is God, my Lord;
The gates of heaven are open.
My Jesus did triumphant die,
And Satan’s arrows broken lie,
Destroyed hell’s direst weapon.
Oh, hear what cheer!
Christ victorious riseth glorious,
Life He giveth—
He was dead, but see, He liveth!
