The Lord Arose

lyricist: Eliza Sherman, 1888
Composer: Asa Hull

It came up­on the ear­ly morn

That voice so sweet and clear:

Why seek the liv­ing ’mong the dead?

The Sav­ior is not here!

The Lord is ris’n

the an­gels say

The Lord arose this East­er Day!

He suf­fered death for ev­ery­one

He suf­fered in our stead;

But now the vic­to­ry is won

He’s ris­en from the dead.

O an­gels

we would join the song

And glo­ry

glo­ry sing

In tri­umph to our ris­en Lord

Our Sav­ior and our king!
