Hallelujah! Christ Arose!

Robert Lowry penned the words to He Arose in 1874.  I don’t know why we only sing this beautiful hymn on Easter Sunday.

Mark 16:6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

“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’re 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!

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

1 Corinthians 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
