‘Up From The Grave He Arose’ Lyrics Excerpt
“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!”
Story Behind ‘Up From The Grave He Arose’
A Baptist pastor named Robert Lowry composed this classic Easter hymn in 1874. The song appeared in hymnals, sometimes under the titles of ‘Low In The Grave’ or ‘Christ Arose’. Some folks simply refer to the hymn as ‘He Arose’.
Since the words are all about Jesus’ amazing victory over the grave, it’s no surprise the hymn has become an Easter tradition at churches everywhere (Read about US Easter Traditions by State).
The lyrics from ‘Up From The Grave He Arose’ already do a fantastic job of reminding the world of the real reason for Easter. It’s all about remembering the sacrifice God made when He sent His only Son down to Earth to die for our sins.
But hearing the worship tune from these two little sweeties really sets my soul on fire! They clearly have Jesus in their heart and a bright future spreading the Good Word.
