About “Come Praise and Glorify”
British pastor and author Tim Chester wrote the text as a congregational setting of Paul's opening hymn of praise in Ephesians 1. Bob Kauflin met Chester while leading music at the New Word Alive conference in the UK, and Chester afterwards sent him songs his church had written. The Ephesians 1 text stood out, so Kauflin set it to music and lightly reworked the chorus, and Sovereign Grace Music recorded it live at its WorshipGod11 conference for The Gathering.
