Low in the grave He lay—
Jesus my Savior!
Waiting the coming day—
Jesus my Lord!
Jesus my Savior!
Waiting the coming day—
Jesus my Lord!
Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o’er 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!
With a mighty triumph o’er 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!
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!
Jesus, my Savior!
He tore the bars away—
Jesus my Lord!

Robert Lowry wrote both the words and music to this hymn in 1874. At the time, he was professor of literature at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania and was pastor of a nearby church. He had written other hymn tunes and texts as he practiced his passion for poetry and song. "Sometimes the music comes and the words follow," he explained once. "I watch my moods, and when anything strikes me, whether words or music, no matter where I am, at home, on the street, I jot it down. My brain is sort of a spinning machine, for there is music running through it all the time." - Great Songs of Faith by Brown and Norton

You know it is wonderful that we have a Lord that lead in our fight daily, He already conquered, He died, He defeated death and He rose again; He has life in Him and He gave freely to everyone that ask of Him. Thank You Jesus our Lord.

Attending a sunrise service, six o'clock in the morning at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem and singing this hymn in such a setting was a very uplifting experience, even for a man like me who was born and lived at one time just a few hundred yards from that beautiful place.
