New Apostolic Church Southern Africa | Music - "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today" (official)

"Christ the Lord Is Risen Today" is a Christian hymn associated with Easter. Most of the stanzas were written by Charles Wesley, and the hymn appeared under the title "Hymn for Easter Day" in Hymns and Sacred Poems by Charles and John Wesley in 1739. The hymn eventually became well known for the "Alleluia" sung as a melisma after each line, which was added by an unknown author, probably to fit the commonly used hymn tune, "Easter Hymn". It remains a traditional processional hymn on Easter Sunday.
This item was performed on Sunday the 27th of March 2016 as part of a public concert, "Easter Favourites", which was held at The Silvertown Auditorium in Athlone, Cape Town.
