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.
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
I must confess I have never considered the lyrics as an adult, although I've known them since childhood. In this day, they seem very political as well as spiritual. More thought required. I hope you enjoyed.
Peace & Blessings,
