#777: Come to Me, All Pilgrims Thirsty
Jan. 18th, 2021 11:24 pmForgot this section last time around, oops, but here we are.
This song has the same structure as "I, the Lord of Sea and Sky," which is that the verses are from the perspective of God, and the refrain is from the perspective of us humans responding to God's invitation. This one is also slightly repetitive with the "Come to me" and, to a lesser extent, "the gift I offer" showing up in several verses. And in both cases they offset every verse with quotation marks--while hymns in general run a pretty large gamut of "is this us talking to God? God talking to us? people talking to each other?" I guess they don't want to create confusion when there's more than one perspective within the same song.
