O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

Resound this ancient Advent hymn, traditionally sung the week before Christmas. Each stanza highlights an Old Testament name for the coming Messiah, answering their prayers―and ours―with Emmanuel: God with us. Vibrant illustrations will help readers appreciate the many prophecies fulfilled by Christ, even as they await His return. Special content includes a spread dedicated to the O Antiphons upon which the hymn is based. O come, O come, Emmanuel, And ransom captive Israel, That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear. Refrain: Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel! O come, Thou Wisdom from on high, Who ord'rest all things mightily; To us the path of knowledge show, And teach us in her ways to go. (Refrain) O come, O come, Thou Lord of might, Who to Thy tribes on Sinai's height In ancient times didst give the Law In cloud and majesty and awe. (Refrain) O come, Thou Branch of Jesse's tree, Free them from Satan's tyranny That trust Thy mighty pow'r to save, And give them vict'ry o'er the grave. (Refrain) O come, Thou Key of David, come, And open wide our heav'nly home; Make safe the way that leads on high, And close the path to misery. (Refrain) O come, Thou Dayspring from on high, And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh; Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, And death's dark shadows put to flight. (Refrain) O come, Desire of nations, bind In one the hearts of all mankind; Bid Thou our sad divisions cease, And be Thyself our King of Peace. (Refrain)
