Hannah Kerr's instrumental cover of 'O Come, O Come Emmanuel' is a reflective rendition of the classic Advent hymn. The song expresses longing for the coming of the Messiah, who is called Emmanuel, meaning 'God with us.' It speaks of Israel's captivity and exile, and the hope that the Son of God will appear to bring redemption. The repeated call to rejoice and the declaration that the Savior of the World is born offer encouragement to weary souls. The lyrics draw from Old Testament imagery of waiting and deliverance, pointing to the fulfillment of God's promise in Jesus Christ.

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 thou wisdom from on high
Who orders all things mightily
To us the path of knowledge show
And teach us in our ways to go
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel
Shall come to thee O Israel
Rejoice, again I say rejoice
For unto us is born the Savior of the World!
Take heart, o weary soul take heart
For help is on its way and Holy is His name!
Rejoice, again I say rejoice
For unto us is born the Savior of the World!
Take heart, o weary soul take heart
For help is on its way and Holy is His name!
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel
Rejoice, again I say rejoice
For unto us is born the Savior of the World!
Take heart, o weary soul take heart
For help is on its way and Holy is His name!...
Holy is His name!
Holy is His name!
