| 【Com­bined from var­i­ous an­ti­phons by an un­known au­thor, pos­si­bly in the 12th Cen­tu­ry (Ve­ni, ve­ni Eman­u­el); trans­lat­ed from La­tin to Eng­lish by John M. Neale, Med­iae­val Hymns, 1851. Neale’s orig­in­al trans­l­a­tion be­gan, “Draw nigh, draw nigh, Em­man­u­el.” | |
| Music: Veni Em­man­u­el, from a 15th Cen­tu­ry pro­cess­ion­al of French Fran­cis­can nuns (the set­ting for the fu­ner­al hymn Libera me); ar­ranged by Thom­as Hel­more in the Hymn­al Not­ed, Part II (Lon­don: 1856) (MI­DI, score). | |
| The lyrics echo a num­ber of pro­phet­ic themes. The ti­tle comes from the well known Isai­ah 7:14: “Be­hold, a vir­gin shall con­ceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Im­man­u­el.” Im­man­u­el is He­brew for “God with us.” The “Rod of Jesse” refers to Isai­ah 11:1: “There shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jes­se”; Jesse was the fa­ther of Da­vid, se­cond king of Is­ra­el. “Day-Spring” comes from Za­cha­ri­as, fa­ther of John the Bap­tist, in Luke 1:78: “The day­spring from on high has vis­it­ed us.” “Thou Key of Da­vid” is in Isai­ah 22:22: “The key of the house of Da­vid will I lay up­on his shoul­der,” which in turn re­fers to Isai­ah 9:6 “The gov­ern­ment shall be up­on His shoul­der.”】 | |
| 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 thee, O Israel. | |
| O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free | |
| Thine own from Satan's tyranny | |
| From depths of Hell Thy people save | |
| And give them victory o'er the grave | |
| Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel | |
| Shall come to thee, O Israel. | |
| O come, Thou Day-Spring, come 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, Thou Key of David, come, | |
| And open wide our heavenly home; | |
| Make safe the way that leads on high, | |
| And close the path to misery. | |
| Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel | |
| Shall come to thee, O Israel. | |
| O come, O come, Thou Lord of might, | |
| Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height, | |
| In ancient times did'st give the Law, | |
| In cloud, and majesty and awe. | |
| Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel | |
| Shall come to thee, O Israel. |
