I WILL RAISE HIM UP

"I Will Raise Him Up" is a deeply comforting hymn based on the Bread of Life discourse in the Gospel of John. For Catholic choirs, it is a staple during Communion, drawing the congregation into the profound mystery of the Eucharist. The melody is gentle and reassuring, carrying the direct promises of Christ to those who receive Him.

The song moves through six verses, each unfolding a different aspect of the Eucharistic promise—from spiritual nourishment to the pledge of eternal life. Because of its powerful refrain, "And I will raise him up on the last day," it is also widely sung during Easter and at funeral Masses, offering a profound sense of hope and consolation to families as they remember the promise of the resurrection.
