The penultimate Christmas song -
A lament that finds room for rejoicing.
The anxious mourning of a broken and exiled people
bending towards a confident, anxious hope.
lyrics
O Come, O Come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
Who mourns in lowly exile here -
until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to us O Israel!
O come thou Dayspring,
Come and cheer our hearts by Thine Advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night-
and death's dark shadows put to flight
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to us O Israel!
O come, O come Thou Lord of might
who to thy tribes on Sinai's height,
in ancient times, didst give the law -
in could and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to us O Israel!
