If a man die, shall he live again by Charles Macpherson — Lyrics
If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.

About If a man die, shall he live again
Charles Macpherson's anthem If a man die, shall he live again is a powerful setting of scripture for SATB choir. Exploring themes of mortality, faith, and resurrection, the text moves from the searching question of Job to the comforting assurance of St. John's first epistle. The music rises to meet the profound theological statements, offering solace and hope to the listener. This sacred work is well-suited for services of remembrance, funerals, or any occasion where the promise of eternal life is contemplated. Its earnest message and accessible writing make it a meaningful addition to a choir's repertoire.
