O Come O Come Emmanuel
One of my absolute favorite Christmas Hymns is O Come O Come Emmanuel. I love the melody, the dramatic rise and fall of the dynamics when it is performed well, and the solid theology contained therein. I have been reminded lately that Israel waited for their Messiah with great anticipation for many centuries. And in that moment, that one moment in time when the Christ child entered our world, those of us for centuries to come would gain eternal benefit from his incarnation. Rejoice! Rejoice!
Stephen Curtis Chapman has taken the lyrics and set them to a new and gorgeous melody. Enjoy the paintings of winter scenes and listen to the amazing words of this beautiful song. Rejoice!
