He Is Arisen! Glorious Word!

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!

Author: Nicolaus von Zinzendorf

Original German text "Der ist erschienen, der die Sünd'" (or closely related Easter hymn) by Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf; English translation by Catherine Winkworth. Some hymnals attribute the English version primarily to the translator, but the lyricist/author of the words is Zinzendorf.
