If ye be risen again with Christ by Christopher Tye — Lyrics
King James version
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

About If ye be risen again with Christ
Christopher Tye was one of the most significant composers of the English Reformation. A Gentleman of the Chapel Royal and a Doctor of Music, he wrote anthems for both the Roman Catholic and reformed liturgies. This is a powerful setting of a New Testament text from the King James Bible, calling on believers to focus their affections on heavenly things, having died to the earthly realm and found their true life hidden with Christ. The words speak of spiritual resurrection and the ultimate appearance of believers with Christ in glory. The anthem is written for TTBB voices, providing a rich and resonant sound, suitable for a contemplative yet uplifting moment.
