Hallowed Hymns, New and Old ‎#142

142. Christ Arose!

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

Chorus:
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 for ever with His saints to reign;
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!

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

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