The King Shall Come

Ideal for Advent celebrations (also Evening Prayer), this octavo presents a contemporary musical take on the traditional hymn text by John Brownlie. This assembly song is supported by SATB choir, keyboard, and guitar. The gentle rocking of the accompaniment figure in the keyboard and mild syncopations of the melody produce a meditative quality, allowing the faithful the chance to reflect on the ritual action (making this song especially useful during the Presentation and Preparation of the Gifts).
