[personal profile] lutheranhymns
This has a couple unison-y measures that would probably go well with brass accompaniment (common on Easter). And it has the nice rhyme "dejection/resurrection" which is not quite masculine-in-disguise (how often do you see "deject" as a standalone verb?)

But what I want to talk about is the title. Specifically, these are some of the neighbors when you go to look this up in the index:
  • Christ has arisen, alleluia (364)
  • Christ is alive! Let Christians sing (389)
  • Christ is arisen (372)
  • Christ is risen! Alleluia! (this one)
  • Christ is risen! Shout Hosanna! (383)
  • Christ the Lord is risen today! (373)
  • Christ the Lord is risen today; Alleluia! (369)
And then we also have:
  • Alleluia! Christ is arisen (375)
  • Alleluia! Jesus is risen! (377)
  • Hallelujah! Jesus lives! (380)
  • Jesus Christ is risen today (365)
Not that any one of these is a bad title on their own, they all very directly get the point across. But I feel like, taken as a group, they might lead to some problems finding the hymn you want. (There are a couple more groups in this genre, I'll try to get to them eventually, but it might require some extra posts if I've missed them so far.)
