Story behind the song
Another of the songs these 2 women recorded at Expozay Records in Denver in 2004. I had the great pleasure of accompanying this duo on piano as they sang "O Holy Night" on a church Christmas program in Dec., 2008. what wonderful voices with which these singer have been gifted. This song is hymn # 280 in the African American Heritage Hymnal available from GIAmusic.com Also known as "He Rose" in the Lutheran's This Far by Faith hymnal, #90. Notice the intensity of the whisical background music as they sing "An angel came from heaven..." I truly loved this song as a child.
