====== O Come O Come Emmanuel ====== ==== Lyrics ==== 1. O come, O come, Emmanuel\\ And ransom captive Israel\\ That mourns in lonely exile here\\ Until the Son of God appear\\ Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel\\ Shall come to thee, O Israel. 2. O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free\\ Thine own from Satan’s tyranny\\ From depths of Hell Thy people save\\ And give them victory o’er the grave\\ Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel\\ Shall come to thee, O Israel. 3. O come, Thou Day-Spring, 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. 4. O come, Thou Key of David, come,\\ And open wide our heavenly home;\\ Make safe the way that leads on high,\\ And close the path to misery.\\ Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel\\ Shall come to thee, O Israel. 5. O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,\\ Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai’s height,\\ In ancient times did’st give the Law,\\ In cloud, and majesty and awe.\\ Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel\\ Shall come to thee, O Israel. === German Lyrics === 1. Veni, veni Emmanuel;\\ Captivum solve Israel,\\ Qui gemit in exilio,\\ Privatus Dei Filio.\\ Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel,\\ Nascetur pro te, Israel! 2. Veni, veni, O Oriens;\\ Solare nos adveniens,\\ Noctis depelle nebulas,\\ Dirasque noctis tenebras.\\ Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel,\\ Nascetur pro te, Israel! 3. Veni, Clavis Davidica!\\ Regna reclude caelica;\\ Fac iter tutum superum,\\ Et claude vias inferum.\\ Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel,\\ Nascetur pro te, Israel! 4. Veni, veni Adonai!\\ Qui populo in Sinai,\\ Legem dedisti vertice,\\ In maiestate gloriae.\\ Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel,\\ Nascetur pro te, Israel! **Text**: Anonymous ==== Music & Performance ==== {{:wiki:o_come_o_come_emmanuel.mp3|o_come_o_come_emmanuel.mp3}} \\ [[https://musescore.com/user/38235231/scores/4635306|Source]] {{youtube>lev0t3iDBkk?small=rel=0}} ==== Background ==== **Origin**: German.\\ **First Published**: 1710, but origins are between 8th to 12th century\\ **Tune**: Veni Emmanuel, 15th century ==== More Information ==== [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_come,_O_come,_Emmanuel|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_come,_O_come,_Emmanuel]]
