He Arose (Martin)

lyricist: William Martin (1864–1914)
Composer: J. M. Copeland

When the King awak­ened in His low­ly grave

He arose

He arose;

He arose a vic­tor

He arose to save;

He arose

He arose.

He arose from the grave;

From its pow­er He will save

He will save His peo­ple from the last of foes

He arose

He arose.

There were an­gels watch­ing by His hum­ble bed

He arose

He arose;

When He laid aside the vest­ments of the dead;

He arose

He arose.

Jesus took away from death its aw­ful sting;

He arose

He arose

In the dark

dark val­ley now His child can sing;

He arose

He arose.

He arose

and now He reigns

a king on high

He arose

He arose;

He arose a vic­tor

so by grace

shall I;

He arose

He arose.
