Top Catholic Songs – share, learn, promote

After a year-long hiatus, we recently released a new episode on our Contemplative Worship podcast... a song for advent. 

This is an adaptation and new arrangement by Color, of the favourite advent hymn O Come O Come Emmanuel, with four of the O antiphons included. 
 

Come Lord, Veni Emmanuel

Come Lord, Veni Emmanuel

Come Lord, Veni Emmanuel

Verse

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.

Come Lord, Veni Emmanuel, Come Lord

Come Lord, Veni Emmanuel, Come Lord

Verse

O come, thou Rod of Jesse free 
thine own from Satan’s tyranny;
From depths of hell thy people save,
And give the victory o’er the grave.
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

Come Lord, Veni Emmanuel,
Come Lord, Veni Emmanuel,

Verse

O come, thou Dayspring, 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.
 

Come Lord, Veni Emmanuel, Come Lord
Come Lord, Veni Emmanuel, Come Lord

Verse

O come, O King of nations, bind
in one the hearts of all mankind.
Bid envy, strife and quarrels cease
Fill the world with heaven’s peace
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
 

Come Lord, Veni Emmanuel,
Come Lord, Veni Emmanuel,
