You knew I was going to post this hymn on Easter Sunday morning, didn’t you? Up From the Grave He Arose, sung by the Voice of Eden, brothers of ours in South India. And of course I remember this one from Sunday school.

‘Christ the Lord Is Risen Today’
Easter’s almost here, so let’s have an Easter hymn.
Christ the Lord Is Risen Today, by Charles Wesley, sung by the Yoder Family–oh, how many times we sang this, back in Sunday school!
How’s This For an Idea?
Well, I’ve tried everything else. They’ve cut me off from half my readership (maybe more), WordPress denies there’s any problem, and there seems to be jack-all nothing I can do about it… So I guess I can do pretty much anything that occurs to me: when you open the blog with one view–yes, just one–on your Home Page, you just can’t do much worse.
I propose, for the rest of the year, to post at least one Christmas hymn and one Easter hymn every month, until Christmas comes around again. It might look like of odd in July or August… but it may be the Lord will like that kind of oddness.
And again, why not? It wouldn’t hurt to have these two most special holidays in mind all throughout the year.
‘Up From the Grave He Arose’
Nothing much doing here today, no hymn requests as yet, and I’m tired… so let’s try this: Up From the Grave He Arose, by the Voice of Eden. Yes, I know it’s an Easter hymn. Let every day be Easter, in its. Because He lives.
(When things look bleak and hope is on the ropes… sing louder!)
By Request, ‘Up from the Grave He Arose’
“Thewhiterabbit” asked for this one–Up from the Grave He Arose, sung by the Voice of Eden. It’s one of my favorites, brings back fond memories of Sunday school and family get-togethers on Easter Sunday. Not to mention it’s the best news this poor fallen world has ever heard…
Bonus Hymn, ‘Time With You’
‘Christ the Lord Is Risen Today’
It wouldn’t be Easter Sunday without this hymn–Christ the Lord Is Risen Today. We sang it in Sunday school, in church, without or without the choir; it was sort of the Easter hymn.
Sung here by the Joslin Grove Chorale Society–with lyrics if you want to sing along.
‘Up from the Grave He Arose’
This has become one of my favorite Easter hymns–Up from the Grave He Arose, sung by the Voice of Eden–our brothers in Christ by way of south India. It was fun to sing this in Sunday school. It’s inspiring to hear it now.
By Request, ‘Glorious Day’
We have this from one of my friends at Chessgames.com, “Ohio Chess Fan”–Glorious Day, by Casting Crowns.
We’ll post Easter hymns all week, or for as long as you like. We do try to fulfill all hymn requests, and just now, I’m happy to say, we’ve got a bundle of them.
By Request, ‘Jesus Christ Is Risen Today’
Requested by Phoebe, Jesus Christ is Risen Today, sung by the Kings College Choir, Cambridge.
This Easter hymn brings a tear to my eye. It seems to me that in it I can hear all my loved ones who have gone before–which is most of them–singing this hymn in a heavenly choir. What is that lump in my throat?
It’s Jesus, wanting us to know He is risen.
