"The Day is Coming!"

John Thornburg and Jane Marshall have written a hymn based on this theme using the lectionary readings
that we will use each Sunday in Advent. The hymn is called "Speak to us a Word, Isaiah." You can hear a short instrumental recording of the hymn tune, created by Michael Ekbladh, by clicking here.
