Psalm 98:4, 9-10<\/strong><\/p>\n

“<\/em>Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth; Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing Let the rivers clap their hands; Let the hills be joyful together before the LORD.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel<\/em> is probably the oldest Christmas carol we still sing today. The words were thought to have been penned before 800 A.D. While the writer is unknown, he was evidently a scholar with a deep knowledge of both the Old and New Testaments. It seems to present the various prophetic roles Jesus fulfilled when He was on earth.<\/p>\n

One of the many tragedies connected with modern music is that our hymns are being neglected and belittled. Deep spiritual meaning is being replaced with words and music that is unclean. This hymn is a prayer for the Lord to come and rescue us from our deplorable condition. How sad that at best, we may only hear this hymn once a year. I pray that the Lord will come into our jaded lives.<\/p>\n

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
\nand ransom captive Israel,
\nthat mourns in lonely exile here
\nuntil the Son of God appear.
\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Refrain: Rejoice! Rejoice!
\nEmmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

O come, thou Rod of Jesse,
\nfree thine own from Satan’s tyranny;
\nfrom depths of hell thy people save,
\nand give them victory over the grave. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Refrain: Rejoice! Rejoice!
\nEmmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer
\nour spirits by thine advent here;
\ndisperse the gloomy clouds of night,
\nand death’s dark shadows put to flight. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Refrain: <\/strong>Rejoice! Rejoice!
\nEmmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.<\/em><\/strong>
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

O come, thou Key of David, come,
\nand open wide our heavenly home;
\nmake safe the way that leads on high,
\nand close the path to misery. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Refrain: Rejoice! Rejoice!
\nEmmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

O come, O come, Adonai,
\nWho in thy glorious majesty
\nFrom Sinai’s mountain, clothed in awe,
\nGavest thy folk the elder law.
\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Refrain: Rejoice! Rejoice!
\nEmmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
