Jesus Has Risen History
This information comes from Stories from The Children’s Songbook by Sister Pat Graham (more information on that book HERE).
The composer, Thelma J. Ryser, a former member of the Primary General Board says, “My desire in composing this Easter song was to impress the children that Jesus, though he lives In heaven, is our friend, loves us, and hears and answers our prayers.”
“Jesus Has Risen” was originally published in The Children’s Friend in March of 1959. The introduction had been composed as 4/4, but was changed to help establish the 3/4-meter. The last note of the introduction had been C but was moved to A, which gives the pitch. Sister Ryser was a member of the Utah Federation of Music Clubs, Mu Phi Epsilon, Opera Appreciation Club, and the Art Barn. She played the organ for Larkin Mortuary for over forty years.
