Jesus Arose!

Forth from God’s throne

in­to this world of woe

Came God’s own Son

sal­va­tion to be­stow;

Nailed to the cross in pain and ago­ny

Laid in the tomb to save both you and me.

Jesus arose! Praise His ho­ly name!

Jesus arose! Death He ov­er­came!

An an­gel rolled away the stone

My Lord arose to save His own

And now He reigns up­on His throne!

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

Three days He lay with­in that dark do­main

Then with new life

forth from the tomb He came;

Christ has the key; oh

death

where is thy sting?

Our Lord doth live! oh

let your prais­es ring!

Tho’ He’s on high

He’s com­ing back some day

Then from this earth

He’ll car­ry us away;

E’en tho’ we die

we know we’ll rise again

For Christ arose

our pre­cious souls to win!
