Come, we that love the Lord

Thomas Clark composed this stirring SATB setting of a well-loved hymn. Sung in English, it draws on the rich tradition of sacred congregational song, encouraging believers to express their devotion outwardly. The text speaks of the joy found in faith, urging those who love the Lord to join together in joyful praise and to cast aside worldly sorrows. It contrasts this with the silence of those who do not know God, asserting that the faithful should freely share their happiness. The music is designed to match the text's uplifting message, creating an atmosphere of united adoration.
