The year of 1874 saw the creation of “Christ Arose,” and in a rather simplistic way. It was spring, near Easter Sunday, and Pastor Robert Lowry was reading the account of Jesus’ death and resurrection. He had read it a hundred times before, yet something about this time opened his eyes to the significance of the event. He took out pen and paper, and thus one of Easter’s greatest hymns was born.

Ideas:

I updated this 2009 arrangement in 2017, now 7 years later I've remixed it strictly for a worship band. Included with this remix are lead vocals, keyboard, pad and new multitracks. I've only slightly tweaked the piano part.

The original SATB choir and instrumental parts will work with this version - I've mainly given it a more contemporary worship band-driven edge.

Since this song has such a huge range, I think A major it the perfect key for your congregation.

MP3 Problems?

Several subscribers have had problems downloading MP3s. Here are the 2 most typical problems and solutions:

1. How do I download the MP3s? MP3s and (if available) multitrack WAV downloads are found under the "tracks" tab. You can download these MP3s (or any files) to your computer by RIGHT clicking the button, then a little box will pop up with options. Select something like "save as"or "save link as" to manually save the MP3s to your computer where you can then burn a CD, email it to your praise team or upload it to a worship planning website.

2. The MP3 won't play in iTunes (or other media player.) All HymnCharts MP3s are free from ALL copy protection and can be used any way you want. Some people are clicking the MP3 button dragging it to iTunes or another media player. This won't work (you're actually just dragging the image file of the button!) Download the MP3 using the instructions above, then you can access it through your media player.
