As Christ was raised from the dead by Herbert Walter Wareing — Lyrics
As Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre.
And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

About As Christ was raised from the dead
Herbert Walter Wareing's anthem, As Christ was raised from the dead, is written for SATB choir and sets an English text drawn from scripture. The lyrics explore the theological implications of Christ's resurrection, emphasizing the call to live a new life in its likeness. The text moves from the spiritual significance of resurrection to the scriptural account of the empty tomb and the declaration that death no longer has dominion over Christ. It concludes by linking this to the Christian observance of keeping the feast, highlighting themes of sacrifice and new beginnings central to the faith.
