Advent music

It seems that the only Advent hymn I ever knew was "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" - which of course is really part of the "O Antiphons" sung between 17 December and 23 December. (And of course everyone sings the "last" verse-the one for 23 Dec.-first). My recollection may be wrong, but the impression I have is that we sang it every week of Advent in the past.


These past two weeks we have sung "O Come Divine Messiah" at Sunday Mass. It is an absolutely beautiful hymn:



Our Lady of Joyful Hope-pray for us! ... Oremus pro invicem!
