Christ being raised from the dead by Stephen Jarvis — Lyrics
Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
For in that he died, he died unto sin [once]: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

About Christ being raised from the dead
Stephen Jarvis sets a powerful Easter text from Romans 6, exploring the theological implications of Christ's resurrection for believers. The music opens with a sense of profound affirmation, the SATB voices weaving together to articulate the triumph over death. The composer emphasizes the text's central message: that through Christ's sacrifice and resurrection, believers are freed from sin's dominion and made alive unto God. The anthem builds to a resounding "Hallelujah," celebrating the new life offered through Christ. This is a stirring and uplifting anthem for SATB choir, suitable for Eastertide or any occasion celebrating redemption and spiritual renewal.
