If Ye Then Be Risen
Words by Colossians 3:1-4, 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.
For ye are dead,
and your life is hid with Christ in God.
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear,
then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Story Behind the Song
The title comes directly from Colossians 3:1 in the King James Version: “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above.” The song appears to be a Scripture setting or anthem based on this passage, but the original composer, publication history, and exact canonical text cannot be verified from the available information.
