Uses: Easter, Call to Worship
Scripture: John 20:11-18; Acts 1:3
A splendid Easter opener, this joyful hymn/anthem joins choir and congregation in a mighty acclamation of the resurrection of Christ. Using a prominent hymn tune makes this an almost instantly learned piece in the classic "Fanfare and Concertato" format. Each verse receives its moment, and the anthem is bookended by choral and brass flourishes, all creating an exalted effect. A reproducible hymn sheet is provided. Glorious!
