Sunrise has come to this Easter! Here is my favorite Easter hymn from childhood.......I especially liked the refrain; it actually has a rising melody!
**********************************************
"Low In The Grave He Lay"
Words and music written by Robert Lowry(1826-1899) in 1874.
*********************************
Verse 1:
Low in the grave He lay,
Jesus my Saviour!
Waiting the coming day,
Jesus my Lord!
*******************
Verse 2:
Vainly they watch His bed,
Jesus my Saviour!
Vainly they seal the dead,
Jesus my Lord!
********************
Verse 3:
Death cannot keep his prey,
Jesus my Saviour!
He tore the bars away,
Jesus my Lord!
********************
Refrain:
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!
