Christ rising again (Romans 6:9-11; 1 Corinthians 15:20-22) – William Byrd

Romans 6:9-11; 1 Corinthians 15:20-22

⁹ Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

¹⁰ For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

¹¹ Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

²⁰ But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

²¹ For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

²² For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Christ rising again (1589), from Songs of sundrie natures, no. 46–47, composed by William Byrd (c.1540-1623)
