Who was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification.
Romans 4:25
Words: Birgitte C. Boye, 1778 (Han er opstanden! Store Bud!). Translated from Danish to English by George A. Rygh, 1909.
Music: Wie schön leuchtet Philipp Nicolai, 1599 (🔊 pdf nwc).
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!
