Christus resurgens by Thomas Knyght — 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
Thomas Knyght’s Christus resurgens unfolds with a powerful and resonant TTTB or TTBarB voicing. This sacred Latin antiphon celebrates Christ’s resurrection, drawing its text from the New Testament. The music captures the profound theological message of Christ’s victory over death: 'For he who died, died to sin once for all, but he who lives, lives to God. Alleluia.' The second part vividly contrasts the guards at the tomb with the reality of the resurrection, challenging doubters to either return the King or adore Him as He rises. This piece is a compelling setting of Eastertide affirmation.
