O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
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, 0
Israel!
O Come thou Wisdom from on high,
and order all things far and nigh;
To us the path of knowledge show,
and cause us in her ways to go.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, 0
Israel!
O come, desire of nations,
bind all peoples in one heart and mind;
Bid envy, strife, and quarrels cease;
fill the whole world with heaven's
peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, 0 Israel!
Luke 2:7
And she brought forth her
firstborn son, and wrapped
him in swaddling clothes, and
laid him in a manger because
there was no room for them in
the inn.
“Take time to visit with the
Christ in you. That can be the
greatest gift to yourself and
others as it opens the way for
harmony, joy, peace and love.”
