How Long ...
“How Long …” is a special presentation of The Lutheran Hour ®. Hosted by Lutheran Hour Speaker Rev. Dr. Michael Zeigler, this presentation, “How Long …,” features original arrangements of Christmas carols by the internationally known vocalist Erin Bode and an original story revealing an ancient set of poems inspired by the book of Isaiah called the “O Antiphons.”
The antiphons have been used through the centuries to unite Christians in the brightest and darkest of times, as they await the return of their Savior, the Messiah. Originally written in Latin, these ancient poems were very quickly turned into song. The classic hymn “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” is based on this poem and is integral to the story.
The original story is presented as a radio drama. The heartwarming tale is that of a skeptical young woman living alone in windy Chicago at Christmastime. The woman is intrigued by a series of creative messages, a familiar song, and an invitation.
