Words and Music by Robert Lowry, 1874.
[V,1]
Low in the grave He lay, Jesus my Savior!
Waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord!
[Chorus:]
Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o er His foes;
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever with His saints to reign,
He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!
[V.2]
Vainly they watch His bed, Jesus my Savior!
Vainly the seal the dead, Jesus my Lord!
[Chorus:]
Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o er His foes;
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever with His saints to reign,
He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!
[V.3]
Death cannot keep his prey, Jesus my Savior!
He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord!
[Chorus:]
Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o er His foes;
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever with His saints to reign,
He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!
