“Resurrection Day”
Luke 24:1-12
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!
—Robert Lowry, 1874

A dead Christ, I must do everything for; A living Christ does everything for me.
