The R.B.D. Song o' the Lord's Day: III Sunday o' Advent

Third Sunday of Advent (Gaudete Sunday)
Sufjan Stevens, "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" from Songs for Christmas (Saint Mike Papa Whiskey)

Commentary: Because Songs for Christmas is a complitation of several smaller Christmastide releases, the album features are three renditions of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel." This is the longest rendition (4:00), which apropos to the day features numerous repetitions of the imperative, "Rejoice!" (Gaudete is the Latin imperative, "Rejoice.")
