The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#148

148. Low in the grave he lay

1 Low in the grave he lay,
Jesus, my Saviour;
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 Saviour;
Vainly they seal the dead,
Jesus, my Lord.

3 Death cannot keep his prey,
Jesus, my Saviour;
He tore the bars away,
Jesus, my Lord.
