Hymns to Sing During Easter Besides “Christ the Lord Is Risen Today!”

Thine Be the Glory (JUDAS MACCABEUS)

Edmond Louis Budry, 1994; trans. R. Birch Hoyle, 1923

No more we doubt thee,
Glorious Prince of life!
Life is naught without thee;
Aid us in our strife.
Make us more than conquerors
Through thy deathless love;
Bring us safe through Jordan
To thy home above.

Good Christians All, Rejoice and Sing (GELOBT SEI GOTT)
Cyril A. Alington, 1931

Good Christians all, rejoice and sing!
Now is the triumph of our King!
To all the world glad news we bring:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Alleluia, Alleluia! Give Thanks (ALLELUIA NO. 1)
Donald Fishel, 1971

Come let us praise the living God,
Joyfully sing to our Savior.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Give thanks to the risen Lord.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Give praise to his name.

Christ Is Alive! (TRURO)
Brian Wren, 1968; rev. 1995

Christ is alive, and comes to bring
Good news to this and every age,
Till earth and sky and ocean ring
With joy, with justice, love, and praise.

Now the Green Blade Rises (NOEL NOUVELET)
John M.C. Crum, 1928

Now the green blade rises
From the buried grain,
Wheat that in dark earth
Many days has lain;
Love lives again,
That with the dead has been;
Love is come again
Like wheat arising green.
