About Arise and hail the sacred day
A joyful celebration of the Christmas season, "Arise and hail the sacred day" is written for SAB voices in English. The text, beginning with an exultant call to cast aside earthly concerns, reflects on the profound spiritual significance of this holy day. It speaks of the "Son of righteousness" arising with "healing in his wings," offering a message of hope and redemption. This anthem would serve as a fitting anthem or motet for a Christmas service, its uplifting message and accessible voicing making it a valuable addition to any choir's seasonal repertoire.
