15518. Jesus Arose

1 They crucified my Savior,
They crucified my Savior,
They crucified my Savior
And nailed Him to the cross.

Refrain:
Jesus rose (hallelujah),
Jesus rose (gone to glory),
Jesus rose,
And gone to Heaven on the cloud.

2 And Joseph begged His body,
And Joseph begged His body,
And Joseph begged His body
And laid it in the tomb. [Refrain]

3 The cold grave could not hold Him,
The cold grave could not hold Him,
The cold grave could not hold Him,
Nor death’s cold iron hand. [Refrain]

4 For angels came from Heaven,
For angels came from Heaven,
For angels came from Heaven
And rolled the stone away. [Refrain]
