Christus resurgens by John Redford — 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
The Easter antiphon Christus resurgens rejoices in Christ's resurrection from the dead, never to die again. The text proclaims that Christ, who died for our sins and is now alive, lives for God. The second part dramatically challenges the Jews to explain how the guards at the tomb lost the King, asking if they will return the buried body or adore the risen Christ with Christians, singing Alleluia. John Redford sets this powerful Latin text for four voices, ATTB. This sacred work is ideal for Eastertide services, offering a profound musical meditation on the central mystery of the Christian faith.
