O Come, O Come Emmanuel is possibly the most popular and beloved Advent song. So I had to go and mess around with it, making it into something of a show tune. This song is also part of my Cantata.
A pdf of the sheet music for this piece is included in the Cantata that is a pdf download with the full album download.
lyrics
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 you, O Israel.
O come, O come, O Lord of might,
As to Your tribes, on Sinai's height,
In ancient times You gave the law
In cloud and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel.
You've seen us waiting,
Throughout the years.
You've heard us praying
For the Son of God to appear.
O come, O branch of Jesse, free
Your own from Satan's tyranny;
From depths of hell Your people save,
And give them victory o'er the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel.
For generations...
From distant past...
'Til Christmas present
Brings Your gift of hope that will last.
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 you, O Israel.
Shall come to you, O Israel.
O Israel.
