Come Ye Here! by John J. Brackenborough — Lyrics
Come Ye here!
Behold a wondrous sight,
A child is born in Bethlehem,
A Savior for all mortal men,
His Star adorns the night.
Stay Ye here!
Exalt the infants’ birth,
Three Kings have travelled from the east
and joined with angels, shepherds, beasts
to greet God’s son on Earth.

About Come Ye Here!
This vibrant SATB anthem celebrates the Christmas season with an uplifting English text. Its structure moves from invitation to celebration, urging singers and listeners to approach the manger, rejoice in the birth of Christ, and then go forth to proclaim the good news. The lyrics vividly describe the scene of the Nativity, featuring the arrival of the Wise Men, angels, and shepherds, all united in their adoration of the infant Savior. The music is designed to convey the joy and wonder of this miraculous event, encouraging a communal expression of faith and festive spirit as Christmas fills the air.
