The Worship Initiative Releases New Version of “O Come All Ye Faithful (His Name Shall Be)”
The Worship Initiative Releases New Version of “O Come All Ye Faithful (His Name Shall Be)” The Worship Initiative has ushered in the season with a modern offering of a beloved classic. Their new recording, “O Come All Ye Faithful (His Name Shall Be)”, originally released by Passion Music, is now available across streaming platforms and comes paired with a full suite of leader-friendly resources on Get Psallo.
“Christmas and Advent are just around the corner, and we have lots of resources coming your way whether you’re looking to lead your family or your congregation in worship!” the group announced, highlighting the release’s timing and purpose. They also confirmed that choir-specific materials were created in partnership with SemSen Music, giving worship teams extra help preparing for services and seasonal events.
The release itself bridges old and new: familiar lyrics and the warm, congregational spirit of the carol sit alongside contemporary production and an arrangement designed for modern worship settings. That makes it equally suited to a relaxed family devotion, a candlelit Advent service, or a full church carol night. Because Passion Music originally championed this version, listeners can expect both reverence for the hymn’s history and fresh musical textures that bring the title phrase, “His Name Shall Be,” to life.
Get Psallo’s resource package aims to remove friction for worship leaders. While specifics vary by song, a fully resourced release typically includes items such as chord charts, lead sheets, transposable keys, lyric slides, rehearsal tracks, and vocal part splits. The explicit mention of SemSen Music’s involvement suggests dedicated choir arrangements and practical rehearsal content, which is a major plus for directors planning SATB ensembles or community choirs during the busy holiday season.
For those who shepherd small groups or lead worship in intimate settings, the Worship Initiative’s emphasis on family and congregational accessibility means this song will fit into home-based devotional nights or intergenerational services. For larger churches, the combination of streaming availability and downloadable assets reduces prep time during one of the busiest seasons on the calendar.
The Worship Initiative’s release arrives at a moment when many church music teams are finalising Advent programs. With the song live on streaming platforms and resources waiting on Get Psallo, leaders can audition the recording, choose the arrangement that suits their ensemble, and begin rehearsals with materials designed specifically to help congregations sing with heart and unity.
