Up From the Grave He Arose Again Lyrics
Representative Text
1 Low in the grave he lay, Jesus my Savior,
waiting the coming day, 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!
2 Vainly they scout his bed, Jesus my Savior,
vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord! [Refrain]
3 Decease cannot keep its casualty, Jesus my Savior;
he tore the confined away, Jesus my Lord! [Refrain]
United Methodist Hymnal, 1989

Robert Due south. Lowry (b. Philadelphia, PA, 1826; d. Plainfield, NJ, 1899) composed both text and tune of this Easter gospel hymn in 1874 while he was pastor of the Start Baptist Church, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. The hymn was published in Brightest and Best (1875), a church schoolhouse songbook edited by Lowry and William Doane (PHH 473).
The meditative stanzas of this testimony hymn dissimilarity with its dramatic refrain–"He arose!" That refrain recalls for us the angel's declaration: "He is non here; he has risen!" (Luke 24:6a). Originally the first line read, "Low in the grave He lay."
Although Lowry valued his preaching ministry much more than his writing of hymns, he attained a lasting proper name in the gospel music tradition. Educated at Bucknell Academy, he returned in that location to become a professor of rhetoric from 1869-1875. He was too a pastor at Baptist churches in Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. Known nationally as the editor of numerous Sunday school song collections for publishers Biglow and Maine in New York, Lowry also collaborated with William H. Doane to produce gospel hymnals and Sun school songbooks such equally Bright Jewel (1869), Hymn Service (1871-1873), Welcome Tidings (1877), Gospel Hymn and Melody Book (1879), and Glad Refrain (1886).

CHRIST AROSE

The stanzas and refrain of this hymn present a contrast between the cached Jesus and the risen Jesus. In the stanzas, He was buried, awaiting the appointed time of resurrection, and there was zilch that could go along Him in the grave – the guards tried, and Death tried, just they were no match for our Lord. The refrain is a jubilant commemoration of the Resurrection. Jesus is risen! He is risen indeed! Hallelujah!
Text:
This jubilant Easter text was written in 1874 by Robert Lowry, and was published in a Sun school songbook edited by Lowry and William Doane in 1875, Brightest and Best. The hymn was used by Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey in their revivals in Great United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, and was widely popular in America too.
This hymn has multiple titles: "Christ Arose," "Low in the Grave He Lay," and "Up from the Grave He Arose." The themes of the stanzas and the refrain contrast each other. The stanzas focus on Jesus in the tomb. The refrain exultantly celebrates that Jesus is now risen and victorious over His evil enemies.
Melody:
Robert Lowry wrote this tune in 1874 for his text, hence the name CHRIST AROSE. The music for the stanzas is subdued, with a narrow melodic range, and simple rhythm. The dotted rhythms, broad range, and melodic leaps of the refrain melody provide a potent contrast to the stanzas as in the text. Throughout the refrain, the lower voices echo back the words, "He arose!" in a resounding antiphon. In the first edition, the refrain was marked "Faster," a performance practice that has become standard. Sometimes, a ritardando is marked in the penultimate mensurate, which allows an easy return to the tempo of the stanzas, too equally an opportunity to spend a trivial more than time on the triumphant words, "Hallelujah! Christ arose!"
When/Why/How:
This hymn would make an fantabulous choice for an opening hymn on Easter Dominicus, especially for a sunrise service. An energetic handbell organisation, such as "Upwards from the Grave He Arose" is one fashion to begin the commemoration. A brass trio such every bit "Christ Arose" is another idea to give a touch of rousing jubilation to the opening of an Easter service. For a variation on the usual exercise of opening with the subdued mood of the stanzas, effort singing the refrain first as a burst of joy in the celebration the church has been eagerly anticipating all through Lent and specially Holy Calendar week. So sing the stanzas to rehearse what has led up to this moment. The piano organization of CHRIST AROSE that is part of the drove "What Wondrous Love!" demonstrates how to quietly open up the hymn.
The hymn would likewise work well in medley with other Easter hymns. "Raise Your Joys and Triumphs Loftier" is a handbell medley of "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today," "Upwards from the Grave He Arose," and "All Hail the Ability of Jesus' Name." A bright musical interlude betwixt the hymns maintains the overall mood and provides a sense of connection between the various tunes.
