Lyrics

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!
  Alleluia! Christ arose!

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!
  Alleluia! Christ arose!

Death cannot keep its 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!
  Alleluia! Christ arose!
