I have always loved this carol and have listened to this rendition several times since it was posted because I was so blessed by it. They have succeeded in depicting both the majesty and the mystery of God with their arrangement. I have always wondered,however, why the chorus was not written to say “has come” rather than “will come.”
Selah’s rendition of this is also a favorite of mine. It is interspersed with a violin interlude which is the tune of the Israeli national anthem.
I am in my 60s and by no means a kid looking for a rock concert experience. I can envision David’s temple with the sounding of many shofars and the cloud of incense and smoke of the altar fires. 4,000 were assigned to worship with instruments there. I suspect it did not bear much resemblance to our church worship today.
