Trinity Hymnal ‎#206

206. 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, (He arose!)
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes, (He arose!)
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever with His saints to reign.
He arose! (He arose!) He arose! (He arose!)
Hallelujah! Christ arose!

2 Vainly they watch his bed- Jesus, my Saviour;
Vainly they seal the dead- Jesus, my Lord. [Refrain]

3 Death cannot keep its prey- Jesus, my Saviour;
He tore the bars away- Jesus, my Lord. [Refrain]

Amen.
