O Come, O Come Emmanuel

One of my very favorite Christmas songs! (And I love this video, its scenes from the Nativity Movie!) I absolutely love the lyrics, maybe because Israel holds a special place in my heart.

Oh come, Oh 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, Oh Israel! 

Oh come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Thy people with Thine advent here; 
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight

Rejoice, Rejoice! 
Emmanuel shall come to thee, Oh Israel! 

Oh come, Thou rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From depths of hell Thy people save
And give them victory o'ver the grave

Rejoice, Rejoice! 
Emmanuel shall come to thee, Oh Israel! 
Rejoice, Rejoice! 
Emmanuel shall come to thee, Oh Israel!
