Few songs capture the emotional arc of the Easter story quite like “Then Came The Morning,” and this performance by the Gaither Vocal Band, featuring Gloria Gaither and the Voices of Lee, brings a fresh depth to a timeless message. The arrangement begins with a reflective tone, drawing listeners into the sorrow and uncertainty that followed the crucifixion. Gentle harmonies and restrained instrumentation set the stage, allowing the weight of the story to settle before the triumphant shift arrives.
As the song unfolds, the collaboration between these artists becomes its greatest strength. The Gaither Vocal Band’s rich, layered vocals blend seamlessly with the youthful clarity of the Voices of Lee, while Gloria Gaither’s presence adds a sense of authenticity and continuity to the piece’s legacy. Each voice contributes to a gradual build in intensity, mirroring the transition from despair to hope. The dynamics are carefully crafted, moving from quiet contemplation to a powerful declaration that feels both personal and communal.
By the time the chorus swells into its full expression—“Then came the morning”—the song transforms into a celebration of renewal and victory. It’s not just a retelling of a biblical moment, but an invitation to reflect on themes of resilience, faith, and new beginnings. This rendition stands as a testament to how classic gospel music can be reimagined without losing its core message, offering both longtime listeners and new audiences a moving and memorable experience.
The Gaither Vocal Band was founded in the early ’80s by renowned Christian music leader Bill Gaither. GVB became one of America’s leading southern gospel vocal groups. While Bill Gaither remained the only original member of the ensemble, many well-regarded CCM/gospel singers have passed through the band’s ranks, including Russ Taff, Guy Penrod, Wes Hampton, Michael English, Mark Lowry, and David Phelps. Today, the Gaither Vocal Band roster is comprised of five power-packed voices, including Bill Gaither, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles and Reggie Smith.
