COME GOD'S CHILDREN

"Come God's Children" is a bright, joyful hymn that calls the congregation to the altar. With a buoyant "alleluia" anchoring every single line, the piece carries a natural, celebratory momentum that lifts the spirit of the Mass. It is a straightforward and welcoming song, perfect for gathering the faithful into a shared moment of thanksgiving.

We often sing this during the Offertory, as the lyrics speak directly to the presentation of the gifts. The second verse explicitly mentions offering "gifts of bread and wine" in Christ our Lord, making it an ideal accompaniment for the procession to the altar. The simple, repeating structure makes it easy for the congregation to join in, filling the church with a unified voice of praise as the table is prepared.
