274. He Arose

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:
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 will bear my spirit home.

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

3 Mary, she came running,
A-looking for my Lord.
Mary, she came running,
A-looking for my Lord.
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]
