This is one of the most moving and powerful Christmas songs that I
have ever heard! The lyrics capture the true spirit and meaning of why we
should be celebrating Christmas and it is not about the decorating, the
Christmas Tree, the gifts, the Christmas lights, egg nog and parties. It is
about the birth of Jesus Christ and the Salvation that it brought to us all!
The first time I heard this song was when my brother sang it at
Church Christmas concert! It brought tears to my eyes at that point because I
never heard him sing a song with so much emotion and feeling. Now every time I
hear this song I think of him and it reminds me of the true meaning of
Christmas and the reason for the season!
This video is so moving and truly captures the spirit and essence
of this song! Hopefully you will take the time to watch, listen and be inspired
to full fill the true the meaning of Christmas this holiday season and beyond!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
