New Release: Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise for SATB Choir, Piano, and Organ

We are pleased to announce the release of our newest choral arrangement, Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise.

This joyful SATB arrangement celebrates the Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus Christ and is designed with the needs of the church choir in mind. The arrangement is written at an easy/simple difficulty level, making it accessible to a wide range of choirs while still providing a full and festive musical presentation. Optional hand chime and finger cymbal parts offer additional opportunities to enhance the celebration.

A Hymn for Easter and Ascension

While Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise is often sung on or near Easter in celebration of Christ’s Resurrection, the hymn originally commemorated Ascension Day, which takes place 40 days after Easter. Its text beautifully connects the joy of the empty tomb with the triumphant Ascension of the Savior.

This arrangement was originally performed by a church choir in Kaysville, Utah, for Easter 2025. The goal was to create an arrangement that would be both musically satisfying and practical for a church choir to prepare without an extensive rehearsal commitment.

Whether you are looking for music for Easter Sunday, Ascension Sunday, or another worship service celebrating the Savior, we hope this arrangement will be a useful addition to your choir’s repertoire.
