Kathleen Demny has crafted a sure-to-please choral piece that boasts a compelling syncopated melody in the refrain with a convincing metrical change to express the words Maranatha, Lord Jesus, come to us. The equally energetic cantor's voices verses in the relative minor conclude with an SATB call: Veni, Emmanuel that leads us back to the refrain. Adding a strummed guitar with the keyboard part would nicely complement this delightful Advent song.
