Emmanuel

by Steve Angrisano

Come, come, Emmanuel!
Son of God, appear.
Heaven and earth, rejoice!
Salvation is drawing near.
Salvation is drawing near.

1. O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.

2. O come, O Wisdom from on high,
Who ordered all things mightily;
To us the path of knowledge show,
And teach us in her ways to go.

3. O come, O Rod of Jesse’s stem;
From ev’ry foe deliver them
That trust your mighty pow’r to save,
And give them vict’ry o’er the grave.

4. O come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of humankind;
Make all our sad divisions cease,
And be for us the King of Peace.

Final Refrain
Come, come, Emmanuel!
Son of God, appear.
Heaven and earth, rejoice!
Salvation is drawing near.
Salvation is drawing near. (twice)

Rejoice! Emmanuel
shall come to thee, O Israel. (twice)

Fourth Sunday of Advent
Watchword for the Week -- Restore us, O Lord God of hosts; let your face
shine, that we may be saved. Psalm 80:19

Isaiah 7:10-16; Psalm 80:1-7,10-14 Romans 1:1-7; Matthew 1:18-25

God has made me fruitful in the land of my misfortunes. Genesis 41:52

The God of all consolation, who consoles us in all our affliction, so
that we may be able to console those who are in any affliction with the
consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by God.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4

As you have loved us, as you have consoled us, as you have empowered us,
O gracious Lord, let our gratitude be shown by our fruit of love and
compassion for all we meet. Amen.
