Music Notes

LEVAS 14: Soon and Very Soon

The fourth week of Advent brings us right to the brink of Christmas, so we move from the warnings of earlier lessons and the tension of waiting. Now we can rejoice and hope at the fulfillment of all good things in the Incarnation and the Second Coming; this hymn is one of the happiest expressions of that great hope. Written by the popular and influential Gospel songwriter and minister, André Crouch (1942-2015), this exuberant song has been widely published and translated since it was written in 1976. - Donna Wessel Walker
