Lo! He comes...

Advent Sunday wouldn't be complete without singing Wesley's great hymn of the Second Advent, "Lo! He comes with clouds descending"...


I recall singing this at (English) Vespers in years past; it is a glorious canticle.

  1. I recall singing this at (English) Vespers in years past; it is a glorious canticle.

    Ah yes, times past. I recall singing this as a Lutheran...

    It really riles me that some songs are deemed "protestant" and some "catholic". Many "protestant" hymns are more Catholic than the "catholic" hymns...

    The once and future hymn? We can only hope.

    "Lo Hymns come on clouds descending..."
