Celtic Worship is an organic cultural expression of sung worship in Scotland today; an expression which follows in the footsteps of what has taken place in Scotland for centuries. Comprised of some of the most interesting and innovative musicians in Scotland’s flourishing contemporary music scene, the band is driven by a sincere desire to use their skills, giftings and various abilities to praise and make known Jesus Christ. Together they explore the beautiful timeless truth of psalms and older hymns, whilst contributing original works to the canon of Christian music – all with the instrumentation and musical language of their native Scotland including the powerful sound of bagpipes, whistles and fiddle.

The group was first assembled in late 2016 to prepare for a live worship event held during Glasgow’s famous Celtic Connections festival. Since then, the band has performed in the UK and Europe, has released two studio albums, and continues to accumulate millions of views of their online videos. They have just released their Christmas album – Come Behold: Christmas Collaborations – featuring guest artists such as Ron Block, Norrie MacIver, Unoma Okudo, and Blue Rose Code.

Celtic Worship are: Naomi Stirrat, David Hogg, Mhairi Marwick, Scott Wood, Chris Amer, Gus Stirrat and Ifedade Thomas.

Moving ahead, the band continues to write, perform and, above all, bring praise to the One to whom all praise is due. They invite you to join them.

Lyrics

Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic hosts proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King

Christ by highest heaven adored
Christ the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a virgin’s womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus our Emmanuel
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King

Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace
Hail the Son of righteousness
Light and life to all He brings
Risen with healing in His wings
Mild he lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King

Emmanuel
