Low in the grave he lay,
Jesus my Saviour,
waiting the coming day,
Jesus my Lord!
Up from the grave he arose
as the Victor over all his foes;
he arose in triumph from the dark domain,
and he lives for ever with his saints to reign:
he arose, he arose,
Hallelujah, Christ arose!
2. Vainly they guard his bed,
Jesus my Saviour;
vainly they seal the dead,
Jesus my Lord!
3. Death cannot keep his prey,
Jesus my Saviour;
he tore the bars away,
Jesus my Lord!
