Wounded I Sing is an Advent song for the soul that plummets the depths of sorrow but emerges rejoicing. Bishop of Chelmsford, England George Herbert is widely regarded as the greatest devotional poet the world has known. Richard Harries introduces the poet and reflects on 24 of his greatest poems, six for each of the four weeks of Advent, including Redemption, The Country Parson, and The Temple. Each week focuses on a different theme: Week 1: Winning the Heart Week 2: Held by Christ Week 3: Welcome Week 4: All Praise. After each poem, Richard Harries reflects on the poet's sense of the divine and draws out spiritual insights for the reader to think about as they prepare to celebrate Christ's appearing. The result is a book that readers will want to return to over and over again, whether during Advent or in any other season of the year.
