O Come, O Come, Immanuel | Songs and Everlasting Joy

This song is a desperate plea for God to come and be with His people. Israel were in a period of silence. Silence from God. No prophets had visited their land for 400 years. They needed "God with us," Immanuel. But they were not ready for Him when He came. There are so many similarities between their world and ours. Different reasons, different circumstances, different distractions. But the effect is the same. A drought. We need the River of Life, just as the Israelites did in the first century. May we be ready when Immanuel comes to us. O Come, O Come, Immanuel Verse 1 O come, O come, Immanuel, and ransom captive Israel, That mourns in lonely exile here, until the Son of God appear. Refrain Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel shall come to thee, O Israel! Verse 2 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. Verse 3 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.
