Tune:[Low in the grave He lay]
Composer:Robert Lowry

138. 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 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]
