Come and Praise (Words and Music)

Product Information

There is no need for a projector.... and sitting cross legged on the floor while you read the story optional! as well as Christmas carols and Easter hymns.Two volumes were published: Come and Praise in 1978, and Come and Praise 2 in 1988. The hymns from both volumes were published together in The Complete Come and Praise in 1990. Those are just three of the songs on our list of school assembly anthems that we first put together in 2019. And as you can see from the video above, we aren't the only ones who still appreciate a hymn - even if it is on a night out! Two of my most favourite hymns are 'Imagine A World Without Any Flowers' and 'I've Seen The Golden Sunshine'. The latter includes that chorus "I Have Seen The Light". I had no idea what it meant until I saw the Light myself (aged about fifteen) and I became a Christian too. Funnily enough it all then made sense to me. Everything fell into place. Everything I had been taught. Forty years later I am still a Christian and I am grateful for the spiritual journey 'Come And Praise' encouraged me to take. This is especially so when you consider my own parents were atheist and agnostic. For being able to worship at school was the only opportunity to worship God and to experience God that I had. Indeed it was only when I started at school that I first began to learn about God. To learn about the Christian Faith. I am very, very grateful 'Come And Praise' was a part of this.

Brenton Brown wrote the words of this worship song after being diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. After praying and reflecting on Isaiah 40, verses 28 to 31, he found courage and felt God’s support and that message is echoed in his text. The hymn is still used today paired with a number of different tunes. As well as “Somervell” and “Gerontius”, it is often sung to “Richmond” and “Billings”. This is hymn was written in the 19th century by Welsh pastor William Rees and set to music by Robert Lowry. Of late it has been given a refreshed treatment by Matt Redman and tells of the connection between God’s love and the gospel. The clue should have been in its opening "cauliflowers fluffy, cabbages green...strawberries sweeter than any I've seen," but the line we and you most probably remember best is "the broad beans are sleeping in the blankety bed." 8.

I sang many of these hymns at my infants school between 1979 and 1982. Our Morning Assembly was held in the school hall three times every week. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. I have vivid and powerful memories of us singing these songs with a projector projecting the words on a big screen so we could all sing them. Our teacher bashing the piano and invariably telling us to sing a lot louder as God would just not hear us. This 'Come And Praise' hymn book was central to the collective worship at my school - right up until I left in 1985 when the last hymn we sung together was 'One More Step'. Brian Doerksen is a Canadian singer-songwriter and worship leader. He composed this song in 1977 when he was a Pastor in South West London and his faith was being severely tested. On a walk to reflect he heard a message in the air, “Come, now is the time to worship”. He went home and immediately penned this song, realising that God was reaching out to his creation and inviting everyone to come and worship. I can even recall when I first began to experience or to see God. I must have been aged about six and, as we sang 'Sing Hosanna', I became aware of God near me and also in my mind. I felt such an overwhelming sense of joy and happiness. It was wonderful. And magical. Like a dream but real. Like this great big mystery had been revealed to me. I began to see God quite clearly and, after the hymn had finished, I simply wanted to worship what I had seen. The hymnal was compiled by Geoffrey Marshall-Taylor with musical arrangements by Douglas Coombes, and includes well-known hymns such as “ Give me oil in my lamp”, “ Water of life”, " The building song" and " All things bright and beautiful]".
