Christ Arose

Christ Arose

Low in the grave He lay, Jesus, my Savior,

Waiting the coming day, Jesus, my Lord!

Vainly they watch His bed, Jesus, my Savior;

Vainly they seal the dead, Jesus, my Lord!

Death cannot keep his Prey, Jesus, my Savior;

He tore the bars away, Jesus, my Lord!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!
