118. He Arose

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.

1 They crucified my Savior
and nailed Him to the cross,
They crucified my Savior
and nailed Him to the cross,
They crucified my Savior
and nailed Him to the cross,
And the Lord will bear my spirit home. [Refrain]

2 And Joseph begged His body
and laid it in the tomb,
And Joseph begged His body
And laid it in the tomb,
And Joseph begged His body
and laid it in the tomb,
And the Lord will bear my spirit home. [Refrain]

3 Sister Mary, she came running
a looking for my Lord,
Sister Mary she came running
a-looking for my Lord,
Sister Mary she came running
a-looking for my Lord,
And the Lord will bear my spirit home. [Refrain]

4 An angel came from heaven
and rolled the stone away,
An angel came from heaven
and rolled the stone away,
An angel came from heaven
and rolled the stone away,
And the Lord will bear my spirit home. [Refrain]
