Lead Sheet with Guitar Chords and Bb Instrument Part (Digital PDF Download)
Written in 2014 by Benjamin Hastings, Dean Ussher, and Marty Sampson, O Praise the Name (Anastasis) was intentionally written as a modern hymn that tells the full gospel story, from Christ’s crucifixion and burial to His resurrection and promised return. The subtitle Anastasis, the Greek word for resurrection, highlights the central theme of the song and has contributed to its widespread use in Easter and resurrection‑focused worship.This arrangement has been created specifically for church musicians, offering clarity, flexibility, and subtle musical development while remaining easy to rehearse and lead in congregational worship.
About the arrangement
This setting is shaped to follow the structure of the song while keeping the music accessible and uncluttered.
The Bb instrument part is written in sections:
- Verses 1 and 2 present the melody alone
- The chorus introduces harmony to add fullness
- The final verses include a very simple sustained accompaniment beneath the melody to provide gentle variation (this accompaniment may be omitted if desired)
- A lead sheet with melody, lyrics, and chord symbols
- A Bb instrument part for clarinet or other Bb instruments with melody, harmony, and optional sustained accompaniment
- Two guitar chord sheets: one in the key of A and one using capo 2 with chords in G
- All parts include lyrics to support singers and help instrumentalists follow the form during live worship.
- Lead sheet: melody, lyrics, and chords (concert pitch)
- Bb instruments: melody with sectional harmony and optional sustained accompaniment
- Guitar: chord sheets in A and capo 2 (G shapes)
Difficulty:
- Vocals: Intermediate, due to the wide range
- Guitar: Intermediate in A due to barre chords; beginner‑friendly using capo chords in G
- Bb instruments: Intermediate players will find the upper range most comfortable, while harmony and sustained passages suit early intermediate players
- Key: A
- Time signature: 4/4
- Tempo: approximately 74 bpm
- Style: Contemporary Christian worship, modern hymn
This arrangement supports the natural growth of the song without adding unnecessary complexity. The sectional Bb writing allows the texture to build gradually, while flexible guitar options make the song usable by teams with varying skill levels. Clear layout and lyrics on every part help ensembles stay together in live worship, making this a practical and adaptable resource for Easter services and reflective moments.
