Resurrection Hymn

I thought the hymn our choir is singing tomorrow was worth sharing with you all... a great addition to your choirs' repertoirs. Words and music are by Stuart Townend and Keith Getty, the same duo that has produced such great new hymns like In Christ Alone, How Deep the Father's Love for Us, and others.

Resurrection Hymn (See What a Morning)

See what a morning - glorious and bright
with the dawning of hope in Jerusalem.
Folded, the grave clothes; tomb filled with light
as the angels announce Christ is risen.
See God’s salvation plan wrought in love,
borne in pain, paid in sacrifice,
Fulfilled in Christ the man,
for He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!

See Mary weeping, “Where is He laid?”
as in sorrow, she turns from the empty tomb,
Hears a voice speaking, calling her name -
it’s the Master, the Lord raised to life again!
This voice that spans the years,
speaking life, stirring hope, bringing peace to us
Will sound till He appears,
for He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!

One with the Father, Ancient of Days
through the Spirit, who clothes faith with certainty.
Honor and blessing, glory and praise
to the King crowned with pow’r and authority.
And we are raised with Him;
death is dead, love has won, Christ has conquered!
And we shall reign with Him,
for He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!
