Reformed Press Hymnal ‎#238

238. Christ Arose

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 for ever 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]
