Author: B. E. W. Meter: 12.11.12.11.6.6.6.6 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: "He is risen," said the angel to the women Refrain First Line: He arose, my Savior Lyrics: 1 “He is risen,” said the angel to the women,
When they came to see Him sleeping in the cave;
Jesus burst the mighty bars of death asunder,
And arose to reign triumphant from the grave.
Refrain:
He arose, my Savior,
He arose, my Savior,
He arose, my Savior,
Triumphant from the grave.
2 He is risen, surely death is now abolished:
Grave, where is thy vict’ry? Death, where is thy sting?
Jesus flashes light into the darkened valley;
Swell the mighty chorus, men and angels sing. [Refrain]
3 He is risen, let the nations hear the music,
Let the gospel truth reach every distant plain;
Let the tidings roll that every guilty captive
May be fully free and help to praise His name. [Refrain]
4 He is risen, hence the fear of that grim monster
Is forever banished to the shades of night;
And the grave and death have lost their wretched terror
While we live on earth or take our upward flight.[Refrain] Topics: Resurrection Scripture: Mark 16:6 Used With Tune: ["He is risen" said the angel to the women] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/He_Arose); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Hymnal of the Church of God, 1953 (70); Faith Publishing House, Evening Light Songs, 1949, edited 1987 (231); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Sele
