Just as there are carols for Christmas, there are beautiful songs for Advent. Monday I shared Handel’s Comfort Ye My People / Every Valley. Another is Come, O Long Expected Jesus and of course, On Jordan’s Bank. My favorite is still O Come O Come Emmanuel. I love the Latin version but have chosen this one in English because of the beautiful images of the Annunciation and Nativity. The last picture is the most striking – an image of the crucified Christ, because even at Christmas we need to think about the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the reason He was born into this world.
