Andrew Nethsingha, Cambridge, Choir of St. John's College and George Herbert - O Come, O Come, Emmanuel! [Arr. for Choir by Thomas Helmore]

"O come, O come, Emmanuel! Redeem thy captive Israel,
that into exile drear is gone
far from the face of God's dear Son.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, thou Wisdom from on high! Who madest all in earth and sky, creating man from dust and clay:
to us reveal salvation's way. O come, O come, Adonaï,
who in thy glorious majesty
from Sinai's mountain, clothed with awe, gavest thy folk the ancient law.
O come, thou Root of Jesse! draw
the quarry from the lion's claw
from those dread caverns of the grave, from nether hell, thy people save.
O come, O come, Emmanuel! Redeem thy captive Israel,
that into exile drear is gone
far from the face of God's dear Son."
