About the song
This is part of a song cycle of traditional music that I'm putting together for our Christmas service at church for 2008. This version contains only two of the four traditional verses.
Lyrics
O come, o come Emanuel, and ransom captive Israel
that mourns in lowly exile here until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, oh Israel.
O come, Desire of nations, bind all peoples in one heart and mind;
Bid envy, strife and quarrels cease, fill all the world with heaven's peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, oh Israel.
that mourns in lowly exile here until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, oh Israel.
O come, Desire of nations, bind all peoples in one heart and mind;
Bid envy, strife and quarrels cease, fill all the world with heaven's peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, oh Israel.
