Low in the grave He lay, Jesus my Savior,Waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord!
RefrainUp 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!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!
Vainly they watch His bed, Jesus my Savior;Vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord!
Death cannot keep its Prey, Jesus my Savior;He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord!
—Robert Lowry (1826-1899)
