Come all you people

Today’s song from Sing Praise is a simple chant by Alexander Gondo, “Come all you people, come and praise your maker”. Like “We are marching” on 14 June it is a translation of an African (in this instance, Zimbabwean) chant.  The musical style as well as the gist of the works is very similar to that of John Bell’s “Clap your hands all you nations” (14 May).  Apart from the words of the title, the only others are in the last line, “come now and worship the Lord”.   Well done to John for compiling a 3-part unaccompanied rendition by himself.
