I'm a worship leader and also a song-writer, looking forward to the Easter services in 2016. I'm struck by the poor selection of well-known Easter hymns and, particularly, by the lack of hymns that tell the story of Jesus reappearing. I've written a hymn to use and I thought I would share it on this forum. It can be sung to the hymn tune 'Regents Square', which gives it the correct emphasis at all of the right points. Please feel free to use this, if you like it, and let me know how you got on with it. Easter Anthem (From His Broken body Risen) Tune: Regents Square From his broken body risen, Christ has overcome the grave All our sins in him forgiven, humankind he came to save Once in darkness, now victorious As for us his life he gave Mary to the garden going, found the tomb completely bare Heard her name called and, unknowing, turned to Jesus standing there Her Rabboni, spoke to Mary Such important news to share! Twelve disciples, lost and grieving, locked within a darkened room Fearful, only half-believing he had risen from the tomb Then they saw him, could adore him Jesus Christ cast out their gloom One who had not seen the Saviour, doubting what his brothers said Had to feel the wounds of Jesus, or he would believe him dead Thomas did this, now he knew his Lord and God is what he said Sinners who would follow Jesus though we had him crucified See him take his place in Heaven, seated at his Father’s side Christ, immortal, lives eternal Son of God, now glorified
