First Sunday in Advent: Lesson and Carol

[hapaxnym]

From the first chapter of the Gospel according to Mark:

"The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.  As it is written in the prophet Isaiah,

‘See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,
   who will prepare your way;

the voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
   “Prepare the way of the Lord,
   make his paths straight” ’,

One of my favourite airs in that oratorio.

I did not know this song, but I love it, and find it completely wonderful for the beginning of Advent.

I am glad you like it! Lessons and Carols is my project for this Advent.
