Come, let us with our Lord arise by Johann Gottfried Schicht — Lyrics
Come, let us with our Lord arise,
our Lord who made both earth and skies,
and gave men gifts of life and peace;
he died to save the world he made,
he rose triumphant from the dead;
and stamped the day forever his.
This is the day the Lord has made,
that all may see his power displayed,
be filled with all the life of God;

About Come, let us with our Lord arise
The music opens with a sense of jubilant celebration, the SATB voices combining in a rich texture that reflects the text’s joyful message of Christ’s resurrection. Johann Gottfried Schicht crafts a setting that builds in intensity, mirroring the triumphant character of the hymn. The English text speaks of the Lord’s victory over death and the new life and peace offered to believers. It urges the listener to respond with prayer, praise, and a deep recognition of Christ’s sacrifice and power. The composer’s setting is both solemn and uplifting, a fitting musical expression for such a profound theological statement.
