Christ the Lord Is Risen Today cover by Eric Alan Marx.

O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.  (Psalms 117:1-2 KJV)

And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:  (Revelation 19:1 KJV)

I am singing the eleven original verses from John and Charles Wesley with added Alleluias. The music is from a free midi I found Online.  I created it using Zoom.
