Christ the Lord is Risen Today - an Easter Hymn

In 1739, Charles and John Wesley, both brothers, published 139 hymns titled, Hymns and Sacred Poems.  All fifty of these original hymns were written by Charles Wesley.  He wrote this hymn for the first service for the original Wesleyan Chapel in London.  The year was 1739.  The joyful allelujas at the end of each line were added by Lyra Davidica in 1708.

This beloved hymn by Charles Wesley is in an easily learned arrangement. It is intended for the church pianist who wants to bring something more to the music than what most hymnals offer for congregational singing accompaniment. The melody is retained, as well as traditional timing to help singers even if a song leader is not present. Lyrics and chords for guitar are included. Worship. Intermediate level. Right hand melody.

Having spent most of my life in evangelical circles, I've experienced hundreds of altar calls. But I can't help observing that if one were to sing all 10 stanzas of this Wesley hymn, that would be an altar call on steroids! ;-)

It has long been my passion and privilege to create customized arrangements for the churches and schools with whom I have been associated. Many were published; some were not. During the 2020 slowdown caused by Covid-19, I finally had the time to start posting the unpublished resources on Sheet Music Plus.
