"When He Comes Again" by Emily Summerhays

Arranged by W Paul Pulsipher

"When Isaac Watts wrote the lyrics to the beloved Christmas song “Joy to the World,” he didn’t initially intend for it to be a Christmas song. He was not writing about the babe in Bethlehem but the triumphant resurrected Lord at His second coming. Inspired by this idea, this song compares what it was like at Jesus Christ’s humble birth to what it may be like at His second coming; an event Christians have been anticipating since the beginning of time! Woven into this piece is also the immortal melodic line from George Frederic Handel and Lowell Mason, the original composers of the beloved hymn.

Let Earth receive her King!"
