This has to be one of my favourite Advent hymns, a versification of Isaiah 40:1-5 set to the Genevan tune for Psalm 42. Here is a wonderful choral version arranged by David Ashley White.
Dear Reader,
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
