Christ Is Risen (He Is Risen Indeed)—
Keith & Kristyn Getty & Ed Cash/arr.
Tom Fettke & Thomas Grassi. From their
successful Northern Celtic Island Tour
2012, Keith and Kristyn Getty, with co-
writer Ed Cash, have given us yet another
fabulous defining hymn of faith. The strains
of authentic Celtic instruments begin the
joyful, dance-like rhythmic pattern that
supports the uplifting text of this resurrection
piece. With a victorious message that
implores us to tell the good news that He is
alive, this Easter Sunday anthem will inspire
the hearts and lives of all congregations.
Full orchestration are offered to the easy-to-
sing but lush vocal parts of this memorable
choral work, but this work would work
equally well with keyboard accompaniment
alone. Each verse recounts the story of
Christ and his journey to the cross ending
with the fanfare that He is alive! The perfect
Easter anthem or benediction.
