Alleluia! the Lord liveth by Cuthbert Harris — Lyrics
The Lord liveth, and blessed be my strong helper: and praised be the Lord of my salvation.
The same stone which the builders refused: is become the headstone in the corner.
Ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

About Alleluia! the Lord liveth
Cuthbert Harris’s anthem Alleluia! the Lord liveth is a jubilant setting of a familiar English sacred text. The words express profound theological truths concerning Christ’s resurrection, the rejection and ultimate triumph of Christ (the stone which the builders refused), and the transformation of sorrow into joy. They speak of victory through Christ and praise to the Lord of salvation. This work is for SATB choir and builds to a powerful conclusion. Its message of triumph and thanksgiving makes it an inspiring choice for church services and concerts alike.
