You can head over there and find background information and links to the recordings as well.
This particular piece is wonderful for the coming weeks, as we head into All Saints Day and the Last Sundays of the Church Year. This is the time of the church year where we focus on the second coming of Jesus.
Our focus as Christians, though, is not on the judgment, but that Christ is returning to take us home. Christ already suffered our final judgment for us, so we look forward to the second coming with great hope and expectation! We do not fear this, but long for it. This second coming will put an end to wars and tribulation, and we will forever be with Jesus.
As the last section of the text states,
E'en so Lord Jesus quickly come
And night shall be no more
They need no light, no lamp, nor sun
For Christ will be their All!
And night shall be no more
They need no light, no lamp, nor sun
For Christ will be their All!
