Christ being risen from the dead by John Wall Callcott — Lyrics
Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
For in that he died, he died unto sin [once]: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

About Christ being risen from the dead
John Wall Callcott's SATB setting of "Christ being risen from the dead" is a powerful anthem drawing on the biblical text from Romans chapter 6. Exploring themes of spiritual death and resurrection, the music reflects the theological weight of the words. The text speaks of overcoming sin and death through Christ, offering a message of new life and eternal connection to God. Callcott's composition in this sacred English canon masterfully conveys the profound implications of this resurrection faith, culminating in a triumphant "Hallelujah." This piece offers a rich musical experience for choirs looking to explore profound biblical narratives through choral art.
