Psalter Hymnal (Red) ‎#360

360. Low in the Grave He Lay

1 Low in the grave He lay–
Jesus, my Savior,
Waiting the coming day–
Jesus, my Lord.

Refrain:
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!

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

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