Words

1.

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

Chorus

Up from the grave He arose (He arose)
With a mighty triumph o'er His foes; (He arose,)
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever with His saints to reign;
He arose! (He arose!) He arose! (He arose!)
Hallelujah! Christ arose!

2.

Vainly they watch His bed, Jesus my Savior,
  Vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord!
[Chorus]

3.

Death cannot keep his prey, Jesus my Savior,
  He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord!
[Chorus]
