Choir Sings! (click for more info)

Sunday, December 23, 2012, 12:00 AM

Location: Church

This weekend we will sing two of the most popular Advent Hymns, "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" and "People Look East". Last week I wrote about O Come, O Come Emmanuel which is based on the O Antiphons. People Look East, which the text is written by Eleanor Farjeon, is a hymn about preparation. Each verse of the hymn personifies Love: Guest, Rose, Bird, Star, Lord. Love is on the way, Love is coming, Love is about to arrive so the one who is about to receive Love should prepare accordingly.
