Come to the House of the Lord

Uses: Advent, Call to Worship, General Scripture: Genesis 28:16-17, Psalm 121:1, Isaiah 2:1-5, I Timothy 3:15 Galloping confidently forward, this rhythmic praise anthem is filled with inviting lyrics and music. A syncopated opening theme announces the confident intent of the piece calling the faithful to gather for worship with great rejoicing. Contrasting sections add variety and incorporate the prophetic passages of Isaiah's vision of a world where peace is at last the inheritance. A jubilant piano accompaniment builds security and drives the choir to a convincing ending. A great up-tempo Advent call to worship!
