COME LET US SING UNTO THE LORD. by James Varrick Armaar — Lyrics
About COME LET US SING UNTO THE LORD.
"Come Let Us Sing Unto The Lord" is a bright and majestic choral anthem that draws its text directly from the opening verses of Psalm 95. Composed by James Varrick Armaar, the piece opens with an inviting solo passage—first calling out in the alto or soprano voice, then echoed by the tenor—before the full choir bursts into a joyous, rhythmic chorus. It is a true call to worship, setting a tone of reverence and high praise.
In the choir loft, this anthem shines during festive Masses, particularly as an Entrance song or a grand piece for thanksgiving. The vocal parts weave together beautifully to declare God's dominion over creation, moving from the "corners of the earth" to the "strength of the hills" and the "dry land." The dynamic shifts, especially the gentle tenor call to "come before Him with thanksgiving," give the piece a wonderful sense of movement and expression.
Singing this anthem feels like leading the entire congregation in a grand procession of faith. The repeated, energetic calls to "come let us sing" build a sense of shared celebration, reminding everyone present of the sheer joy found in praising a great God and King.
