The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#189

189. He 'Rose

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.

They crucified my Saviour
and nailed Him to the Cross
They crucified my Saviour
and nailed Him to the Cross
They crucified my Saviour
and nailed Him to the Cross
and the Lord will bear my spirit home.

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.

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.
