“Christ Has Arisen, Alleluia” comes to us from African Lutheranism.
Rev. Bernard Kyamanywa wrote the original Swahili text while he was in seminary in Tanzania.
He wrote it in a very African style, envisioning a story-teller and congregation responding; the story-
teller presents the simple story of the Easter Gospel, and the congregation responds with the
refrain. (Although it can be sung in unison.)
