Singing Saturday- O Come O Come Emmanuel

One of my favorite Christmas hymns is "O Come O Come Emmanuel" and my favorite is Enya's version.  You may wonder about the other words that are in this version.  They are from the original Latin version of the song.  I found a very interesting article on wikipedia about the history of this hymn.

Veni, veni, Emanuel!

Captivum solve Israel!

Qui gemit in exilio,

Privatus Dei Filio.

Refrain:

Gaude, gaude, Emanuel

Nascetur pro te, Israel.

Translation:

I came, come, Emanuel!

And ransom captive Israel!

That mourns in lonely exile here,

The Son of God.

Refrain:

Rejoice, rejoice, Emanuel

Shall be born for thee, O Israel.

So, here it is :)

O Come, O Come Emmanuel- By Enya

O come, O come Emmanuel,
To free your captive Israel.
That mourns in lonely exile here,
Until the Son of God appear.

Refrain:
Rejoice! Rejoice!
O Israel, to you shall come Emmanuel.

Veni, veni, Emanuel!
Captivum solve Israel!
Qui gemit in exilio,
Privatus Dei Filio.

Refrain:
Gaude, gaude, Emanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.

( Chanting - Gaude, gaude )

Refrain: (2x)
Gaude, gaude, Emanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.
