Christmas hymn
by James
Montgomery & Henry
T. Smart Larry
Shackley has taken this
Christmas hymn and its
tune Regent Square, and
done a full-bore gospel
treatment, inviting
everyone to Come and
worship Christ, the
newborn King. A solid,
swinging piano
introduction sets the
stage for Brooklyn
Tabernacle-style vocal
writing, with the basses
frequently involved in
lively call and response
with the rest of the
choir. An original bridge
asking the congregation,
Oh, won't you come and
worship? leads into the
triumphant final verse
that celebrates the
second coming of the
Messiah as well as the
first.
Smart Montgomery
