564. Christ Arose

1 Low in the grave He lay Jesus my Saviour!
Waiting the coming day Jesus my Lord!

Refrain:
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! 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 his prey Jesus my Saviour!
He tore the bars away Jesus my Lord! [Refrain]
