About here we are

"Here We Are" is a joyful, folk-style gathering hymn that has been a staple in Catholic parishes for decades. Originally written by Ray Repp in 1966, this particular arrangement by Tony C. Eluno brings a rich four-part harmony to the familiar melody, making it a wonderful choice for a choir to lead the congregation in worship. The song's bright, marching rhythm naturally draws people together as Mass begins.

The lyrics speak directly to the heart of Christian community and fellowship. Singing "Here we are all together as we sing our song joyfully," the choir sets a welcoming tone for the liturgy. The verses encourage us to celebrate our shared brotherhood and to "make the world an alleluia," reminding everyone in the pews that the joy of the Mass is meant to be carried out into the world. It is an ideal Entrance hymn, especially for youth Masses, parish feast days, or any Sunday where the focus is on the gathered family of God.
