Come, let us who in Christ believe by Thomas Jarman — Lyrics
Come, let us who in Christ believe,
Our common Saviour praise,
To him with joyful voices give
The glory of his grace.
His grace would every soul restore
That fell in Adam's fall,
His Father's justice asks no more,
Since he hath died for all.
He died for all, he none pass'd by
In their forlorn estate,

About Come, let us who in Christ believe
These words express a profound theological reflection on the redemptive power of Christ’s sacrifice. The text boldly proclaims universal atonement, asserting that Christ died for all mankind, leaving no one in a forlorn state. It passionately pleads for a personal experience of this grace, questioning if God’s love extends universally. The SATB setting in English offers a rich harmonic framework for this deeply felt hymn, suitable for services focusing on themes of salvation, grace, and the encompassing love of God. The composer Thomas Jarman crafts a sacred setting that allows the text's powerful message to resonate fully.
