461. He Is Arisen! Glorious Word

He is arisen! Glorious Word!
Now reconciled is God, my Lord;
the gates of heav'n are open.
My Jesus did triumphant die,
and Satan's arrows broken lie,
destroyed hell's fiercest weapon.
O hear what cheer!
Christ victorious, rising glorious,
life is giving.
He was dead but now is living!
