I know that my Redeemer lives

Daniel Read's anthem opens with a clear, confident declaration of faith. The SATB voices present the text, drawn from the Book of Job and the First Epistle to the Corinthians, with directness and conviction. The music reflects the profound certainty of the lyrics, proclaiming the resurrection of Christ and the promise of life after death. It speaks of a steadfast belief that the Redeemer lives, offering solace and hope through its solid harmonic language and declamatory style. The 'Hallelujah' chorus provides a powerful and affirmative conclusion, embodying the triumph expressed in the text.
