Christ Is Living - Easter Hymn by Edewede Oriwoh — Lyrics
On a hill far away stood a cross
on the wood of said cross died our Lord
but the wounds in His hands no more are bleeding
for The One who was hanging there is living.
He was pierced with a lance in His side
while the women on Calvary cried.

About Christ Is Living - Easter Hymn
Edewede Oriwoh sets an English text of Easter joy, celebrating Christ's resurrection. The words paint a vivid scene, contrasting the suffering on the cross with the triumphant reality of His living presence. The SSATB voicing allows for rich harmonies, underpinning the text's message of hope and redemption. The hymn moves from the imagery of the faraway cross and the women's tears to the gleaming crown and joyful singing, emphasizing the victory over death. This sacred piece is suitable for Eastertide services and occasions where the Easter message is central.
