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!
