O come, o come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
Who mourn in lowly exile here
Until the son of god appear
O come, thou rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From depths of hell thy people save
And give them vict'ry o'er the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee
O Israel
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 light
O come, thou key of David, come
And open wide our heav'nly home
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee
O Israel
O come, o come, thou lord of might
Who to the tribes on Sinai's height
In ancient times did give the law
In cloud and majesty and awe
(Gloria)
Will you come to me?
Show your face to me?
If I wait for you
Will you come to me?
(Hallelujah)
When on bended knee
When in agony
If I wait for you
Will you come to me?
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee
O Israel
(Rejoice)

Oh oh oh, this record shocked me- I was not prepared for how deeply this would seep into my heart. It’s a wave/heartbeat/dog running through shallow water/light coming through green leaves. Thank you thank you thank you Riki

Stephen Cope's voice has an enormous amount of warmth and richness. The texture and sonority of the instruments in this song give it energy and vibrance. L. Cope
