Christ rising again from the dead by Thomas Tomkins — Lyrics
BCP 1549
CHRIST rising again from the dead, nowe dyeth not.
Death from henceforth hath no power upon hym.
For in that he dyed, he dyed but once to put away sinne,
but in that he lyveth, he lyveth unto God.
In Christe Jesus our Lorde. Alleluya, Alleluya.

About Christ rising again from the dead
This substantial verse anthem by Thomas Tomkins sets words from the Book of Common Prayer, celebrating Christ's resurrection. The text, proclaiming Christ's eternal life and victory over death, offers rich theological material for musical expression. Tomkins' setting, for SATB choir, would be particularly fitting for Eastertide services or any occasion remembering Christ's triumph. The music likely reflects the profound significance of the words, exploring the contrast between sin and salvation, death and life. As a verse anthem, it would typically feature solo passages interspersed with full choral sections, allowing for a dramatic and varied performance.
