Come, People, Join to Sing

Words: By Ken Medema, 2014
Music: tune, FESTAL SONG, by William H. Walter, 1894

Singer, composer, song writer Ken Medema wrote this song at the start of 2014. He says, "I offer here a little hymn of gratitude for those church musicians who lead us week after week. I want it to be an expression of gratitude to all those folks out there who don't get enough thanks. You know my heart, you know that when I write something I consider it a gift from God and therefore a gift to the church. Sure it's nice to make money by what I do, but that is never the main reason to do it. I hope some music ministers get this sung for them, and I hope they understand just a little bit about how much they change the world." It could be appropriately sung on music or choir recognition Sunday or any Sunday when music or music leaders are celebrated.
