If ye then be risen with Christ by Charles Villiers Stanford — 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 then be risen with Christ
Charles Villiers Stanford's anthem If ye then be risen with Christ is a powerful setting of a familiar biblical text. Drawing on the rich tradition of English sacred music, this SATB work urges listeners to focus their affections on heavenly things, reminding them that their life is hidden with Christ in God. The music reflects the soaring hope of the text, culminating in the glorious anticipation of appearing with Christ in glory. Stanford's masterful craft ensures that the anthem is both musically satisfying and spiritually uplifting, making it an ideal choice for services and concerts where a message of resurrection and eternal life is desired.
