Voicing: Unisn/Two part with congregation, organ and Opt. Bb Trumpet
Arranger; Michael Bedford
Especially suited for older children's choirs, this delightful arrangement of the familiar Easter hymn abounds with cheer and exhilaration. A dance-like organ accompaniment along with a regal trumpet part depicts the glorious jubilation felt by the women who discovered the empty tomb, and the angel who proclaimed to them, "Your Savior is not here! He is risen!"" On the final stanza, the congregation and children's choir join together singing, "Then raise your glad voices, all Christians, and sing, bring glad Easter praises to Jesus, your King!"
