#373: Christ the Lord is Risen Today!

[lutheranhymns]

I...actually did not know this melody was in the hymnal. To explain: a modern composer arranged a slightly more syncopated/jazzy version of this melody, paired with these lyrics, as a choir anthem called "Easter Carol." Later (I think), a different composer wrote new lyrics so it would be about Advent, and put them to that arrangement. Except, she used the same last verse ("King of glory, soul of bliss..."). The creative name for this song is "Advent Carol." Our choir sung both. :P

Anyway, I guess it's also a hymn. Neat..
