O Come O Come Emmanuel (Cover)//Derek Charles Johnson (Songs Of The Season)

Derek Charles Johnson's cover of "O Come O Come Emmanuel." Accompanies his 4 part Christmas blog series "Songs Of The Season" which you can read at www.derekcharlesjohnson.com/blog

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 Day-SpringCome 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, desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease
And be Thyself our King of peace

Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

Lyrics: Jason Mason Neale (translator, original Latin “Veni, veni, Emmanuel")
Musical Arrangement: To the tune “Bone Jesu dulcet cunctis,” perhaps arranged by Thomas Helmore
