Lyrics

He is aris­en! Glo­ri­ous word!
Now re­con­ciled is God, my Lord;
The gates of Hea­ven are op­en.
My Je­sus did tri­um­phant die,
And Sa­tan’s ar­rows brok­en lie,
Destroyed hell’s dir­est wea­pon.
Oh, hear what cheer!
Christ vic­to­ri­ous ris­eth glo­ri­ous,
Life He giv­eth—
He was dead, but see, He liv­eth!
