He Is Risen (2)
An Easter Hymn
Opening refrain verses 1-4:
Jesus is risen now, Jesus is risen now,
yes, Jesus is risen now.
Heavenly peace we now may enjoy.
Sadness and mourning turns into joy.
Jesus is risen now, Jesus is risen now,
yes, Jesus is risen now.
A jubilant and joyous voice:
Jerusalem, oh do rejoice,
for on this glorious new morn
Jesus our Lord has ris'n at dawn.
The Son of God no grave could hold,
His victory, it was foretold.
With Godly power He arose,
the pow'r of Satan to depose.
And by His act death lost its sting,
He paid for us and is our King.
For if our faith in Him is bold,
our fear of death has no more hold.
And now that Jesus did o'er-come
our life with Him has just begun.
His death has paid for all our sin,
to have eternal life with Him.
Closing refrain after verse 4:
Jesus is risen now, Jesus is risen now,
yes, Jesus is risen now.
Heavenly peace we now may enjoy.
Sadness and mourning turns into joy.
Jesus is risen now, Jesus is risen now,
yes, Jesus is risen now.
Repeat:
Jesus is risen now, Jesus is risen now,
yes, Jesus is risen now.
Based on a hymn by: Edward Gerdes (1821-'98). Refrain added.
English paraphrase: Adrian Vermeulen-Miller
