First Sunday of Advent 2010 - Expectation

Veni, veni Emmanuel!
Captivum solve Israel!
Qui gemit in exilio,
Privatus Dei Filio,
Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.

Veni, veni o oriens!
Solare nos adveniens,
Noctis depelle nebulas,
Dirasque noctis tenebras.
Gaude, gaude Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.

Veni, veni Adonai!
Qui populo in Sinai
Legem dedisti vertice,
In Maiestate gloriae.
Gaude, gaude Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te Israel.

Lou and Peter Berryman

We discovered Lou and Peter Berryman while living in Detroit in the late 80's and early 90's. They were played regularly on the Folk Show on Saturday mornings, hosted by Matt Watroba on WDET. They are delightful musicians, with amazing wordplay, clever lyrics, and an overriding sweet good humor that is almost too much fun. We saw them live in concert while living in Wisconsin. They were, of course, a load of fun live, and in gratitude we bought a CD to help them support their musical habit. Here are three of our favorites, that just happen to appear on Youtube.
