Hymnal for Church and Home (2nd ed.) ‎#114

114. He Is Arisen, Glorious Word!

He is arisen! Glorious word!
Now reconciled is God, my Lord;
The gates of heaven are open.
My Jesus died triumphantly,
And Satan's arrows broken lie,
Destroyed hell's direst weapon.
O hear what cheer!
Christ victorious
Riseth glorious,
Life He giveth--
He was dead, but see, He liveth!
