Hymn: “Christ Arose” Words & Music: Robert Lowry, 1874
 
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!

Vainly they watch His bed, Jesus my Savior;
Vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord! Refrain

Death cannot keep his prey, Jesus my Savior;
He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord! Refrain

Alleluia, alleluia!
Hearts to Heaven and voices raise:
Sing to God a hymn of gladness,
Sing to God a hymn of praise.
He, who on the cross as Savior
For the world’s salvation bled,
Jesus Christ, the King of glory,
Now is risen from the dead.
