LOW IN THE GRAVE HE LAY,
JESUS MY SAVIOR
WAITING THE COMING DAY
JESUS MY LORD.
UP FROM THE GRAVE HE AROSE,
WITH HIS MIGHTY TRIUMPH OVER HIS FOES.
HE AROSE A VICTORY FROM THE DARK DOMAIN
AND HE LIVES FOREVER
WITH THE SAINTS TO REIGN.
WITH THE SAINTS TO REIGN.
CHORUS: HE AROSE; HE AROSE} HALLELUJAH
CHORUS: CHRIST AROSE.

VAINLY THEY WATCHED HIS BED
JESUS MY SAVIOR
VAINLY THEY SEALED THE DEAD
JESUS MY LORD
UP FROM THE GRAVE HE AROSE
WITH HIS MIGHTY TRIUMPH OVER
HIS FOES.
HE AROSE} HE AROSE} HALLELUJAH
CHRIST AROSE.

HE TORE THE BARS AWAY.
UP FROM THE GRAVE HE AROSE
WITH HIS MIGHTY TRIUMPH OVER
HIS FOES.
