464. They Crucified My Saviour

1 They crucified my Saviour,
And nailed Him to the cross,
They crucified my Saviour,
And nailed Him to the cross;

2 Then Joseph took His body,
And laid it in the tomb,
Then Joseph took His body
And laid it in the tomb,

3 Then early in the morning,
About the break of day,
Then early in the morning,
About the break of day,

4 Two angels came from heaven,
And rolled the stone away,
Two angels came from heaven,
And rolled the stone away,

5 Then Mary she came running,
To see her blessed Lord,
Then Mary she came running,
To see her blessed Lord,

6 When, lo, she found Him risen,
And ran the rest to tell,
When, lo, she found Him risen,
And ran the rest to tell,

7 The cold grave could not hold Him,
Nor death's cold iron bands,
The cold grave could not hold Him,
Nor death's cold iron bands,

8 The day is fast approaching,
When all in Him shall rise,
The day is fast approaching,
When all in Him shall rise,

9 From sin's dark power He saved us,
To live in sin no more,
From sin's dark power He saved us,
To live in sin no more,
And the Lord will bear my spirit home.

Refrain:
He rose, He rose, He rose from the dead,
He rose, He rose, He rose from the dead;
He rose, He rose, He rose from the dead,
And the Lord shall bear my spirit home.
