Waiting the coming day — 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! He arose! He arose!
Vainly they watch His bed — Jesus my Savior!
Vainly they seal the dead — 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! He arose! He arose!
Death cannot keep his 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! He arose! He arose!

Valerie Comer is a USA Today bestselling author and a two-time Word Award winner who writes where food meets faith and fiction. She injects experience laced with humor into her green clean romances. Her life on a small farm in western Canada provides the seed for stories of contemporary inspirational romance. Like many of her characters, Valerie and her family grow much of their own food and are active in the local foods movement as well as their church. She only hopes her creations enjoy their happily-ever-afters as much as she does hers, shared with her husband, adult kids, and adorable granddaughters.
I do love that song even though we didn’t sing it today. (It was played by the Pianist and I sang it in my head).
Happy Easter
Happy Easter. Thanks Valerie Comer – one of my favorite Easter hymns. Blessings to all.
He is risen, Happy Easter! God bless you all.
Good morning! I am so glad you posted this song. I love it! He is risen! Happy Easter!
Happy Easter!! Thank you Jesus!!
I LOVE this song!!! I’ll be playing Dolly Parton’s version of He’s Alive in a bit, as that song really says Easter to me!! Happy Easter to all at Inspy!!!
That song, along with He Lives, has been going through my head all week. Thank you for posting it.
Happy Easter everyone. He is Risen!!
There is no more hymn for this season than this one to turn our thoughts to Jesus’ triumphant Resurrection. I’m blessed to be staying in the country and have been sitting outside this Easter morning, listening to the birdsong and sounds of nature. It’s a symphony of praise!
That’s the beauty of the old, familiar hymns – we can sing them to ourselves!
Happy Easter, Renate!
He is risen indeed!
He is risen indeed!
Happy Easter!
Another good one!!!
Happy Easter!
I love that! Happy Easter!
I love that hymn! Heading home after early service to get ready for kids and grandkids coming over. We are blessed. Happy Easter!!
Happy Easter!
I woke up Easter Sunday with that song in my head! So being a closet pianist, I fumbled my way through it and was thoroughly blessed as I did!
Amen! Happy Easter. Thank you so much for the wonderful memory of this song. God bless you.
I remember singing this every Easter as I was growing up, along with Christ the Lord is Risen Today. I listened to The Easter Song by Matthew Ward this morning and was blessed by it.
Hope you had a great day!
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter!
Thank you, happy Easter!
We sang both of those this morning in church :)
