Have a Blessed Easter Sunday

"Low in the grave He lay, Jesus my Savior,

Waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord!

Vainly they watch His bed, Jesus my Savior;

Vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord!

Death cannot keep it's prey, Jesus my Savior;

He tore the bars away, 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!

I remember singing this Easter hymn every year since I was a little girl. These precious words, written by Robert Lowry in 1874

still thrill my soul today.
