1. Christian people raise your song, Chase away all grieving; Sing your joy, and be made strong, Our Lord's life receiving; Nature's gifts of wheat and vine Now are set before us: As we offer bread and wine Christ comes to restore us.

🎶 Story of the hymn Christian People, Raise Your Song

Colin Thompson wrote "Christian People, Raise Your Song" as a modern hymn intended to echo the energy and theological clarity of classic English hymnody. Rather than being tied to a specific historical event, the hymn was crafted to give congregations a joyful, confident declaration of Christ’s kingship, especially suited for:
  • Easter season
  • Christ the King Sunday
  • General worship focused on resurrection, victory, and praise

Thompson's goal was to create a text that felt timeless and rooted in Scripture and tradition, yet accessible to contemporary congregations.
