This is my first attempt at an Acapella song on the channel and this particular song has always, in my opinion, been done best as a chant. so I am trying my hand at both for the first time for you all. Please let me know what you think. Lyrics in Latin and English Below:

Latin English

Veni, veni, Emmanuel Come, come, Emmanuel
captivum solve Israel, set free a captive Israel
qui gemit in exsilio, who cries in exile,
privatus Dei Filio. deprived of the Son of God.

R: Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel, Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel,
nascetur pro te Israel! Israel was born for you.

Veni, O Sapientia, Come, oh Wisdom
quae hic disponis omnia, You who commands all,
veni, viam prudentiae come, to teach us the way
ut doceas et gloriae. to prudence and glory.

Veni, veni, Adonai, Come, come, my Lord,
qui populo in Sinai whom to the people of Sinai
legem dedisti vertice have given Your heavenly law
in maiestate gloriae. with reverence and glory.

Veni, O Iesse virgula, Come, oh Rod of Jesse,
ex hostis tuos ungula, from the grasp of Your enemy,
de specu tuos tartari from the abyss of hell,
educ et antro barathri. lead Your people out.

Veni, Clavis Davidica, Come, Key of David,
regna reclude caelica, open the kingdom of heaven,
fac iter tutum superum, make safe the way to heaven
et claude vias inferum. and close the roads to hell.

Veni, veni O Oriens, Come, come oh Dawn,
solare nos adveniens, come and console us,
noctis depelle nebulas, dispel the clouds of night,
dirasque mortis tenebras. the ominous darkness and death.

Veni, veni, Rex Gentium, Come, come, King of all nations,
veni, Redemptor omnium, come, Redeemer of the world,
ut salvas tuos famulos to save your servants,
peccati sibi conscios. who are privy of sin.
