Come, let us join our cheerful songs by Anonymous — Lyrics
Come, let us join our cheerful songs
With angels round the throne;
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.
"Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry,
"To be exalted thus:"
"Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply,
"For he was slain for us."
Jesus is worthy to receive
Honour and power divine;

About Come, let us join our cheerful songs
This anthem builds an exultant, two-part harmony for SATB voices, sung in English. The anonymous composer sets a text that speaks of the heavenly host and earthly creation joining in a single, overwhelming chorus of praise to Christ, the Lamb who was slain. The music mirrors the text’s message of unity, with the four parts moving together in homophonic textures, creating a sound that is both grand and unified. It is a powerful expression of devotion, drawing all voices into a collective act of adoration. The music is structured to support the escalating sense of joy and the ultimate, unified acclamation of divine worthiness.
