[Magdalen] E'en So Lord Jesus Quickly Come.

[Jay Weigel]

It's a hair faster than I prefer, but a nice recording. It's also my
favorite Advent anthem, and I've sung it many times, probably the first
time in my late teens.

I was told that Manz originally wrote it while waiting in the hall outside
the hospital room of his critically ill son, which adds a lot of poignancy
to it.
