Lyrics

Verse 1
Low in the grave He lay, Je­sus my Sav­ior, (Matt. 27:59-60, Matt. 28:6, Mark 15:46, Mark 16:6, Luke 23:53, Luke 24:6)
Waiting the com­ing day, Je­sus my Lord!

Chorus
Up from the grave He arose, (Matt. 28:6)
With a migh­ty tri­umph o’er His foes, (Col. 2:15)
He arose a vic­tor from the dark do­main,
And He lives for­ev­er, with His saints to reign. (Rev. 1:18, Rev. 20:6, Rev. 22:5, Dan. 7:18, II Tim. 2:12)
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Verse 2
Vainly they watch His bed, Je­sus my Sav­ior;
Vainly they seal the dead, Je­sus my Lord! (Matt. 27:65-66)

Verse 3
Death can­not keep its prey, Je­sus my Sav­ior; (Acts 2:24)
He tore the bars away, Je­sus my Lord! (Ps. 107:16)
