I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (May 15, Easter 4), I filled in at a local Lutheran Church. I closed with a hymn that Susan Palo Cherwien wrote. It is Rise, O Church, like Christ Arisen. It is #548 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship. It is set to the tune, SURGE ECCLESIA, composed by Timothy J. Strand. However, we sang it to PRAISE, MY SOUL, composed by John Goss, 1800-1880.
