Christus resurgens by Nobuaki Izawa — Lyrics
Christus resurgens ex mortuis, jam non moritur, mors illi ultra non dominabitur.
Quod enim mortuus est peccato, mortuus est semel, quod autem vivit, vivit Deo,
Alleluia.
Mortuus est enim propter delicta nostra: et resurrexit propter justificationem nostram,
Quod autem vivit, vivit Deo,
Alleluia.

About Christus resurgens
Nobuaki Izawa's Christus resurgens is a sacred motet for SATB choir in Latin. The text, drawn from liturgical sources, proclaims Christ's resurrection and victory over death. It opens with the triumphant declaration that Christ, having risen from the dead, will die no more, and that death has no more dominion over him. The music follows the text's message of hope and divine justification. The second part challenges Jewish disbelief, questioning the guards who failed to prevent the discovery of the empty tomb and urging them to acknowledge the resurrected King. The choir is invited to join in the exultant Alleluia, celebrating the resurrection.
