A beautiful performance of this fantastic anthem. Our church choir at Emmanuel Lutheran New Springfield loved this. Gives me chills every time I hear or sing it.

"There is a yearning in hearts weighed down by ancient grief and centuries of sorrow.
There is a yearning in hearts that in darkness hide and in the shades of death abide, a yearning for tomorrow.
There is a yearning for the promised One, the Firstborn of creation. There is a yearning for the Lord who visited His own, and by His death for sin atoned, to bring to us salvation.
Emmanuel, within our hearts, the yearning.
There is a yearning that fills the hearts of those who wait the day of His appearing.
There is a yearning when all our sorrows are erased and we shall see the One who placed within our hearts the yearning.
Emmanuel, within our hearts, the yearning."
