Originally titled ‘Hymn for Easter Day,’ Charles Wesley published the well-loved anthem ‘Christ the Lord is Risen Today’ in 1739 – which was within the first year of his conversion. However, the original lines find their origin long before that. There are also a number of changes that have taken place since Wesley first penned this hymn.

Learn the story behind this beloved hymn on this bonus episode of the Reasonable Theology podcast.
