WE HAVE COME TO MOUNT ZION

"We Have Come To Mount Zion" is a vibrant, uplifting entrance hymn that immediately sets a joyful tone for the Mass. Drawing its inspiration from the Book of Hebrews and Revelation, the lyrics remind the congregation that gathering for worship is a profound spiritual reality. As we process into the church, we are not just walking into a building; we are joining the heavenly Jerusalem and the unseen choirs of angels in their eternal praise.

The piece opens with a bright, declarative chorus that is easy for the assembly to catch onto, while the choir carries the underlying harmonies. As the verses progress, the text invites friends and brethren to bring their thanks, worries, and prayers before the Lord in the holy sacrifice of the Mass. It is a wonderful choice for Sunday mornings, giving the entrance procession a real sense of purpose and majesty as the ministers approach the altar.
