1. Low in the grave He lay Je- sus my Sa- vior! Wait- ing the co- ming day\- Je- sus my Lord! Up from the grave He a- rose, With a might- y tri- umph o'er His foes; He a- rose a Vic- tor from the dark do- main, And He lives for- ev- er with His saints to reign. He a- rose! He a- rose! Hal- le- lu- jah! Christ a- rose!
 
2. Vain- ly they watch His bed\- Je- sus my Sa- vior! Vain- ly they seal the dead\- Je- sus my Lord!
 
3. Death can- not keep his prey\- Je- sus my Sa- vior! He tore the bars a- way\- Je- sus my Lord!
