CHRIST IS RISEN

"Christ Is Risen" is a triumphant Easter anthem by Jude Nnam that captures the pure joy of the Resurrection. Sung in Catholic parishes across Nigeria during the Easter season, the piece opens with a vibrant, declaring refrain that announces Christ's victory over the grave. The melody is bright and energetic, perfectly suited for a festive Entrance or as a Recessional hymn when the congregation is filled with the spirit of the season.

The verses take the choir through the narrative of the Passion and Resurrection. It moves from the sorrow of Good Friday—recalling the soldiers and the piercing of His side—to the quiet hope of Easter morning when the women arrive at the tomb. The final verse breaks into a beautiful, layered call-and-response, comforting Mary and all believers that they will "weep no more." It is a moving reminder of the Resurrection's promise, asking, "Death, oh where is thy sting?" and answering with a resounding Alleluia.
