* Anyone finding Michael Joncas’s “A Voice Cries Out” too difficult for the congregation might like this later offering in his metrical hymn collection for Advent/Christmas “Within Our Hearts Be Born”. I should point out that we used AURELIA (associated with “The Church’s One Foundation”) rather than the published tune, “REVELATION”, because no one would have known it.
