Hymn
Christ Arose
Low in the grave He lay -
Jesus my Savior!
Waiting the coming day -
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!
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!
