If we believe that Jesus died by George Alexander Macfarren — 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
George Alexander Macfarren sets a profound biblical text from 1 Thessalonians 4 to music for SATB choir. This sacred setting is drawn from the words of comfort concerning the resurrection and the second coming of Christ. The choral writing offers rich harmonies and a sense of solemn grandeur befitting the scriptural message. The composer ensures that the four vocal parts interweave effectively, building towards moments of powerful affirmation. It is a piece that seeks to inspire hope and solace through its musical setting of these deeply significant verses.
