Advent Journey – 4

by Paul on December 21, 2010

We’ve had the music of John Rutter before. Here is his Advent Hymn, “Gabriel’s Message.” Sting, of all people, recorded a version but I prefer this one by the Myriad Singers of Barbados. Enjoy.

Nice – thanks for finding it and sharing with us. The Sting version wasn’t bad either.

Bob,

You’re most welcome. Yes, Sting’s version isn’t bad but it’s not “pure” as this one, I think.

I love the image of wings as drifted snow and eyes as flame…and wonder anew at the courage it must have taken to listen, let alone say, “yes”

Thanks…

Michelle,

Amen to your sentiment. I can’t begin to imagine what it must have been like.

Michelle, your line “the courage to listen” gives me something to think about.
