Forth from God’s throne, in­to this world of woe,
Came God’s own Son, sal­va­tion to be­stow;
Nailed to the cross in pain and ago­ny,
Laid in the tomb to save both you and me.

Refrain

Jesus arose! Praise His ho­ly name!
Jesus arose! Death He ov­er­came!
An an­gel rolled away the stone,
My Lord arose to save His own,
And now He reigns up­on His throne!
Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

Three days He lay with­in that dark do­main,
Then with new life, forth from the tomb He came;
Christ has the key; oh, death, where is thy sting?
Our Lord doth live! oh, let your prais­es ring!

Refrain

Tho’ He’s on high, He’s com­ing back some day,
Then from this earth, He’ll car­ry us away;
E’en tho’ we die, we know we’ll rise again,
For Christ arose, our pre­cious souls to win!

Refrain
