We're sin...That is a beautiful Christmas hymn. We're singing it tomorrow in Sacrament meeting. Now I'll be thinking a little more about the words as I direct!<br /><br />I have a few favorites, but I think the one that tops them all is: O Come, O Come, Emmanuel:<br /><br />O come, O come, Emmanuel<br />And ransom captive Israel<br />That mourns in lonely exile here<br />Until the Son of God appear<br />Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel<br />Shall come to thee, O Israel.<br /><br />O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free<br />Thine own from Satan's tyranny<br />From depths of Hell Thy people save<br />And give them victory o'er the grave<br />Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel<br />Shall come to thee, O Israel.<br /><br />O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer<br />Our spirits by Thine advent here<br />Disperse the gloomy clouds of night<br />And death's dark shadows put to flight.<br />Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel<br />Shall come to thee, O Israel.<br /><br />O come, Thou Key of David, come,<br />And open wide our heavenly home;<br />Make safe the way that leads on high,<br />And close the path to misery.<br />Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel<br />Shall come to thee, O Israel.<br /><br />O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,<br />Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,<br />In ancient times did'st give the Law,<br />In cloud, and majesty and awe.<br />Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel<br />Shall come to thee, O Israel.<br /><br /><br />My favorite verse is No. 3. Have a very Merry Christmas Michelle (and family)!Joe and Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10467336663921469184noreply@blogger.com
