COME LET US SING UNTO THE LORD

"Come Let Us Sing Unto the Lord" is a vibrant, majestic choral anthem based on the opening verses of Psalm 95. Composed by James Varrick Armaah, the piece opens with an inviting alto solo before the full choir bursts in with a bright, rhythmic call to heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation.

The arrangement makes excellent use of vocal textures, alternating between expressive solo lines and robust four-part harmony. A lyrical tenor solo later takes up the psalmist's call to come before God with thanksgiving, reminding the congregation of the Creator's sovereignty over the corners of the earth, the hills, and the sea.

Because of its exuberant praise and direct scriptural text, this anthem is highly effective as an Entrance song to gather the people for worship, or as a grand festival piece for special celebrations. It carries a natural momentum that lifts the spirit of the choir loft and the entire church, setting a joyful tone for the Mass.
