He Is Arisen! Glorious Word

(WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET. 8.8.7.8.8.7.4.4.4.4.8)

Brigitte Katerine Boye, 1742-1824; George A. T. Rygh, 1860-1942

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!
