Come, ye blessed of my Father by Crys Armbrust — Lyrics
Matthew 25:3440 King James Version (KJV)
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

About Come, ye blessed of my Father
This anthem for treble voices sets the words of Jesus from Matthew's Gospel, describing the ultimate judgment where the faithful are welcomed into the Kingdom. The text opens with the King's invitation, 'Come, ye blessed of my Father,' and then recounts the acts of kindness and compassion that merited this welcome: feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and visiting the sick and imprisoned. The composer Crys Armbrust crafts an evocative setting of this profound biblical passage. The piece is suitable for services or concerts where a message of divine affirmation and the importance of selfless service is desired.
