Christus resurgens by Peter Philips — Lyrics
Christus resurgens ex mortuis, jam non moritur, mors illi ultra non dominabitur.
Quod enim mortuus est peccato, mortuus est semel, quod autem vivit, vivit Deo,
Alleluia.
Mortuus est enim propter delicta nostra: et resurrexit propter justificationem nostram,
Quod autem vivit, vivit Deo,
Alleluia.

About Christus resurgens
This motet by Peter Philips is ideal for Eastertide or any occasion celebrating the Resurrection. The Latin text draws from the Gospels and St. Paul's epistles to proclaim Christ's victory over death. The music, set for SSATB voices, powerfully conveys the message of Christ's rising and his eternal life with God. The second part challenges disbelief, asking how soldiers guarding the tomb could lose the King, and urging listeners to adore the resurrected Christ with an Alleluia. Philips's masterful setting brings this profound theological statement to life with vibrant choral writing.
