Author: Robert Lowry Hymnal: Baptist Hymnal 1991 #160 (1991) Meter: Irregular First Line: Low in the grave He lay, Jesus, my Savior! Refrain First Line: Up from the grave He arose Lyrics: 1. Low in the grave He lay,
Jesus my Savior!
Waiting the coming day,
Jesus, my Lord!
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!
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!
3. Death cannot keep his prey,
Jesus, my Savior!
He tore the bars away,
Jesus, my Lord!
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!
