If we believe that Jesus died by John Goss — Lyrics
If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them which are asleep.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

About If we believe that Jesus died
John Goss's anthem If we believe that Jesus died is a powerful setting of scripture from 1 Thessalonians 4. Written for SATB choir, this English text provides immense comfort and assurance, drawing directly from St. Paul's words about the resurrection and the second coming of Christ. The music masterfully conveys the solemnity of the text, building to moments of great hope and conviction. It is an ideal choice for services of remembrance or for any occasion seeking to affirm faith in the afterlife. The composer's skill in setting the biblical narrative makes this a stirring and profoundly moving anthem for congregational and choral settings.
