Come, Christians, Join to Sing 4-Part - Digital Sheet Music

Come, Christians, Join to Sing for SATB Choir and Piano has been arranged by Joseph I. Corporon.The hymn text was written by Christian Henry Bateman, a minister first in the Moravian Church, then in the Congregational Church, and finally, the Church of England.It appears that Bateman’s hymn text is a reworked version of William Edward Hickson’s hymn, Join Now in Praise, and Sing. It’s thought that this song was intended for children, since most of the words have no more than two syllables, and the original text of the first verse was “Come, children, join to sing.” In each verse, three out of four stanzas ends with “Alleluia! Amen!” See this link for more information: https://www.umcdiscipleship.org/resources/history-of-hymns-come-christians-join-to-singAlthought there’s already a healthy dose Amens in the hymn text, I’ve opted to include four historic Amens into the arrangement. They fit nicely at the beginning and ending, and between verses of the hymn text. They are: Greek Amen (Twofold) Dresden Amen (Twofold, transformed into a threefold due to modulation) Danish Amen (Threefold, played on piano only) Seven-fold Amen Contact me and see my other compositions at Cantilena Music
