After searching all the song files on my computer (and there are 1000's) I have to agree that ones directly about the resurrection are few and far between (maybe I should write one???) Anyway did you consider songs like 'He has risen' (Gerald Coates, Noel Richards & Tricia Richards © 1993 Thankyou Music) Christ is risen! (Chris Rolinson © 1989 Thankyou Music) Oh God, Most High, Almighty King (Jamie Owens-Collins (c) 1991 Fairhill Music/Word Music UK) These all have a truimphant ring about them. For a bit more reflective song the Derby based band 'The Harbour Lights' have a song called 'Resurrection' Hi Tim, just come across your site - nice!!

I also have Hymns for Today's church on the shelf for such moments as this. I think <a href="http://www.oremus.org/hymnal/c/c055.html" rel="nofollow">Brian Wren's hymn</a> is a great choice. See What a Morning isn't bad either. I had looked at a few of Stuart Townsend's other hymns and most seemed to suffer the problems Tom Wright highlights with older hymns. This probably just stops short of this. Thanks for these. I also have Hymns for Today’s church on the shelf for such moments as this. I think Brian Wren’s hymn is a great choice.

You could also try Iona and/or Kevin Mayhew resources which are usally pretty good in this respect This is where ‘real’ hymn books score over ’song’ books!! :-)
