Week 2 – Classic Hymns of Eastertide

Up From The Grave He Arose

From my Redeemer-Indy days when our Easter service used to be a sort of Salvation Army/Bluegrass jamboree.

1 Low in the grave He lay,
Jesus my Savior,
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 Savior;
Vainly they seal the dead,
Jesus my Lord!

3 Death cannot keep its Prey,
Jesus my Savior;
He tore the bars away,
Jesus my Lord!
