Christ has no body now on earth but ours by Kathryn Rose — Lyrics
Christ has no body now on earth but ours,
no hands but ours, no feet but ours.
Ours are the eyes through which Christ’s compassion is to look out on the world.
Ours are the feet by which He is to go about doing good;

About Christ has no body now on earth but ours
Kathryn Rose’s setting of Christ Has No Body Now On Earth But Ours for SATB choir opens with a gentle, flowing musical line which gradually builds in intensity. The music directly reflects the text’s message of Christ’s continuing presence in the world through His followers. The four vocal parts weave together to create a rich, homophonic texture, emphasizing the unity called for in the lyrics. Rose’s sensitive approach ensures that the spiritual depth of the words is communicated through the music, offering a profound anthem for congregational singing or contemplation. The music moves with a sense of purpose and growing conviction, mirroring the call to action inherent in the text.
