He is risen by Percy Whitlock — Lyrics
He is risen, he is risen!
Tell it out with joyful voice:
he has burst his three days’ prison;
let the whole wide earth rejoice:
death is conquered, Man is free,
Christ has won the victory.
Come, ye sad and fearfulhearted,
with glad smile and radiant brow!
Lent’s long shadows have departed;

About He is risen
Percy Whitlock's anthems offer a rich and rewarding experience for choirs. He is risen is a powerful setting of an Easter text, calling for SATB voices to proclaim the joyous news of Christ's resurrection. The words speak of victory over death, of light dispelling the shadows of Lent, and of a triumphant celebration. The anthem is designed to inspire a sense of gladness and wonder, fitting for the Easter season. The composer's skill in crafting evocative harmonies and soaring melodic lines will ensure a memorable and uplifting performance for both choir and congregation.
