As we celebrate this second week of Advent, here is another favorite hymn many of you may recognize. May God bless you and your family with His amazing grace as we rejoice in the coming of our Savior's birth.
Oh, Come, Oh, Come, Emmanuel
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, O Israel.
Oh, come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny;
From depths of hell thy people save
And give them vict'ry o'er the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
Oh, 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.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
Oh, 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.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
