COME LET US SING UNTO THE LORD

"Come Let Us Sing Unto The Lord" is a vibrant choral setting of Psalm 95, a scripture that has called congregations to worship for centuries. James Varrick Armaah’s arrangement captures the sheer joy of gathering in the house of God. It opens with an inviting Alto solo, followed by the Tenor, before the full choir bursts in with a bright, rhythmic call to make a joyful noise.

For a choir, this piece shines as an Entrance song or a grand anthem of praise during festive Masses and celebrations. The music moves with a confident, marching energy that naturally lifts the spirit of the congregation. When the Tenor solo returns to sing "Come before him with thanksgiving," it creates a brief, reflective contrast before the full choir swells again to declare God's majesty over the seas and the dry land.

Singing this anthem requires a good sense of rhythm and crisp diction, especially in the overlapping "Come let us sing" passages near the end. It is the kind of piece that energizes both the singers in the loft and the people in the pews, reminding everyone why we raise our voices together in the first place.
