Description:
Combining “We Have This Hope” (GENERAL CONFERENCE) with “Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus” (HYFRYDOL), this is a fitting setting for the Advent season. The first hymn is sung with strength and confidence—expressing unwavering hope because God’s Word, secured by his oath, will not fail. The gentle gravitas of the second hymn captures the profound and overwhelming love through which Christ accomplishes our salvation, making us fit for God’s kingdom.
