This solid and stately setting has instructions for tracking through both the LSB (7 verses) and ELW (5 verses) version of this hymn, but is useful for any congregation wanting a festive Easter setting for congregation, SATB (with soprano descant), organ, and optional brass quintet and timpani. An extended organ/brass introduction version based on Bach's setting of "Christ Lag in Todesbaden " from the Orgelbuchlein is also available.
