138. 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 rose triumphantly,
And Satan's arrows broken lie,
Destroyed hell's fiercest weapon.
Oh, hear, what cheer!
Christ victorious,
Rising glorious,
Life is giving.
He was dead, but now is living!
