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

At the Lamb’s High Feast We Sing (SALZBURG)

Latin, 1632; trans. Robert Campbell

Easter triumph, Easter joy,
These alone do sin destroy.
From sin’s power do thou set free
Souls newborn, O Lord, in thee.

Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise (LLANFAIR)
Charles Wesley, 1739

See! he lifts his hands above,
Alleluia!
See! he shows the prints of love,
Alleluia!

Easter People, Raise Your Voices (REGENT SQUARE)
William M. James, 1979

Every day to us is Easter,
With its resurrection song.
When in trouble move the faster
To our God who rights the wrong.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
See the power of heavenly throngs.

Crown Him with Many Crowns (DIADEMATA)
Matthew Bridges, 1851, and Godfrey Thring, 1874

Awake, my soul, and sing
Of him who died for thee,
And hail him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity.

I Know That My Redeemer Lives (DUKE STREET, LASST UNS ERFREUEN)
Samuel Medley, 1775

He lives, my kind, wise, constant Friend;
Who still will keep me to the end;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
He lives, and while he lives I’ll sing,
Jesus, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
