This song is set to the tune of the Irish folk tune, "Star if the County Down." It quite effectively captures the spirit of the Magnificat, a lively piece for Advent.
My heart shall sing of the day you bring,
Let t he fires of your justice burn.
Wipe away all tears, for the dawn draws near,
And the world is about to turn.
~ Canticle of the Turning (tune: Star of the County Down)
