Four Hymns for the liturgical season of Advent

This collection of four Advent hymns was composed to guide the faithful in preparation for the coming of our Lord, reflecting on both His first coming in humility and His second coming in glory. Each hymn is rooted in Scripture and carries its own unique character: First Sunday of Advent: A hymn of hope and anticipation, with an original poem and melody expressing the light of Christ kindled in our hearts. Second Sunday of Advent: Inspired by Charles Coffin's "The Coming of Our God," this hymn emphasizes preparation and joy for the promises of salvation. Third Sunday of Advent: Set in a responsorial style, this hymn is based on Charles Wesley's "Come, Thou Long-expected Jesus," blending plainchant and early congregational traditions. Fourth Sunday of Advent: A solemn hymn reflecting on the Second Coming of Christ, portraying the culmination of time and the eternal wedding feast. Each hymn is a heartfelt offering of praise and devotion, paired with carefully chosen Scripture passages and Psalms to enrich the Advent season.
