Hymns stick with me better as well. My theory is the music sets it in my brain better than simply hearing a verse.
I've always thought of this one for Good Friday: Rather like the simplicity of how this one is done: (Second Chapter of Acts - Oh Sacred Head, Now Wounded)

And one of my all time favorites, though not technically a Resurrection Day Song, Wonderful the Matchless Grace of Jesus
-Acapella-

Hymns are a great way of meditating upon the Truths of God's Holy Word, inviting it to change us from the inside out. We can have a favorite, many favorites, or love them all equally; God grants us freedom with this but anything that helps us love Him is good!
Some Easter hymns are so dense with theology there's no way to keep up with the meaning at the pace of the music, even if it's slow and stately. We'll wind up reeling; "drunk in the Spirit." The hymn I'll add today isn't like that at all, it affirms ALL the central points of the Faith but instead of diving into any one of them deeply, it just celebrates the whole Gospel. In almost raucus fashion:
That is super sweet: The voices are lovely as is the arrangement. I always love it when I can hear the lyrics clearly, they have so much meaning. This brought me to tears, why would be a long story, which I will tell if others would like. Thank you so much.
The hymn I'll add today is very different from the others so far. A much simpler church and video. Most from here drown out the choir but you can at least hear the melody being sung.
This hymn is all about the lyrics! No Easter bunnies but Spring is referred to a lot which is ok, especially when it's tied to the deeper meaning which this hymn does.

BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE HYMNS. THEY SEEM STICK WITH ME BETTER THAN BIBLE VERSES DO.
