A rockin' cover of a song from the year 1710...
I am a songwriter dedicated to spreading the good news about the love and mercy of my Savior, Jesus Christ.
Story behind the song
I couldn't find a truly joyful arrangement of this song which proclaims, "Rejoice! Rejoice!", so I recorded one myself (and it ROCKS, too)!
Lyrics
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
(Latin Hymn, circa 9th Century; Tr. by John M. Neale)
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransome captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
O come, Desire of Nations bind
All peoples in one heart and mind
Let envy, strife and quarrels cease
Fill all the world with heavens peace
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
