We Have Come

"We Have Come" is a bright, joyful Entrance hymn composed by Joe Onyekwelu, originally written as part of the Mass of the Sacred Heart. From the very first notes, it sets a welcoming and purposeful tone for the liturgy, gathering the congregation and choir together as they process into the church. The lyrics serve as a direct, heartfelt declaration of why the faithful gather: arriving in God's house to offer worship, honor, and praise.

As the piece unfolds, the verses build on this sense of joyful arrival. The choir leads the people in offering power and glory, before reflecting on the marvel of God's heavenly kingdom and the beauty of His dwelling place. Directors will appreciate the straightforward, uplifting melody that naturally encourages full participation from the pews. It is a wonderful choice for beginning Sunday Mass, lifting the spirits of the assembly as they step into the presence of the Almighty Father to begin the celebration.
