Up from the Grave He Arose
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A beloved Easter hymn written by Robert Lowry in 1874, celebrating the resurrection of Christ with triumphant imagery of Jesus rising victorious over death. The rousing refrain 'He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!' has made it a staple of Easter worship.
Verse 1
Low in the grave he lay,
Jesus my Savior,
waiting the coming day,
Jesus my Lord!
Refrain
Up from the grave
he arose, (he arose)
with a mighty triumph
o’er his foes; (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)
He arose! (he arose)
Hallelujah! Christ arose!
Verse 2
Vainly they
watch his bed,
Jesus my Savior;
vainly they seal the dead,
Jesus my Lord!
Refrain
Up from the grave
he arose, (he arose)
with a mighty triumph
o’er his foes; (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)
He arose! (he arose)
Hallelujah! Christ arose!
Verse 3
Death cannot
keep its prey,
Jesus my Savior;
he tore the bars away,
Jesus my Lord!
Refrain
Up from the grave
he arose, (he arose)
with a mighty triumph
o’er his foes; (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)
He arose! (he arose)
Hallelujah! Christ arose!
