As the Farmer Waits

The gentle, patient melody of this composition underscores its Advent themes of preparation for the Nativity: hope, glad tidings for the poor, and the coming reign of God's justice. The SATB choral parts feature accessible harmonic writing, well-supported by keyboard, guitar, and solo instrument. This assembly song is well suited for use at many liturgical moments: gathering, Preparation of the Gifts, Communion, and sending.
