O Come, O Come Emmanuel Lyrics
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, O come, great Lord of might
Who to thy tribes on Sinai's height
In ancient times once gave the law
In cloud and majesty and awe
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, thou Day-spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heavenly 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, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
Who to thy tribes on Sinai's height
In ancient times once gave the law
In cloud and majesty and awe
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
And open wide our heavenly home
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel

im pretty sure there isnt a B&S version of this song. cause i downloaded it and the mormontabernaclechoir version and they were the same. definately not B&S. probably not even motab.
oh, me dear... there are two B&S versions for this song. you can find the live version on the 2002's peel christmas session and the studio version on Xfm's "it's a cool cool christmas" album.
I'm not religious at all, but I can't help but love this song. Very beautiful.
