We Shall Know Him When
He Comes
Angela Birkhead-Flight.
Inspired by an anonymous poem contrasting earthly kings with the
enduring peace of Christ, this Advent anthem weaves modernized
text with imagery from O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. The
music moves from storm to stillness with voices rising like wind,
breaking into light, and settling into lush harmonies echoing the
"holy harmonies" mentioned in the text. The accompaniment and
solo instrument beautifully support the themes throughout. All will
encounter the peace of Emmanuel anew.

Across cultures and across communities, light is a powerful
symbol of togetherness and strength. We light candles amid the
dark to symbolize our commitment to one another at vigils and
during seasonal celebrations. This piece invites us to cultivate
hope, peace, joy, and love for the good of all. It is suitable for
community, school, and church settings, with the option to
feature soloists or small ensembles as well as a sung community
response. It would be appropriate for Advent candle lighting.
