Christ Is Risen!
Truly He is Risen!
Khristos voskrese! Voistinu voskrese!
Blessings to all on this Glorious Easter Day!
One of my favorite Easter hymns growing up was Low in the Grave He lay. You just have to hear it sung in a church full of Russian Baptists! (In Russian of course) This song is sung with emotion and joy that can’t be missed.
Low in the Grave He Lay
Low in the grave He lay, Jesus my Savior,
Waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord!
Refrain
Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes,
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever, with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!
Vainly they watch His bed, Jesus my Savior;
Vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord!
Refrain
Death cannot keep its Prey, Jesus my Savior;
He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord!
Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes,
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever, with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!
Words & Music: Robert Lowry, 1874.

My brother in law sent this out yesterday and I thought it would be fun to share!
The Happy Wonderer ~ ellen b. 
Христос Воскрес!
Воистину Воскрес!
I hope you had a wonderful Easter! Thank you for sharing that Hymn, I’ll have to see if it’s in one of my Hymnals now 🙂
Being the music major you are, a Russian church singing experience needs to be added to your education! 🙂 We did have a wonderful Easter, especially singing Nothing but the blood of Jesus. We rocked the house with that one!
