Christ Arose

1 Low in the grave He lay -  
Jesus my Savior!  
Waiting the coming day -  
Jesus my Lord!  

Refrain:  
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!  

2 Vainly they watch His bed -  
Jesus my Savior!  
Vainly they seal the dead -  
Jesus my Lord! [Refrain]  

3 Death cannot keep its prey -  
Jesus my Savior!  
He tore the bars away -  
Jesus my Lord! [Refrain]
