Jamie Grace performs a modern rendition of the classic Advent hymn "O Come, O Come Emmanuel." The song expresses the longing of Israel for the coming of the Messiah, who is called Emmanuel, meaning "God with us." It reflects themes of hope, healing, and peace, as it calls for the arrival of the Savior to bring light into darkness and unite all people. The repeated refrain "Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!" emphasizes the joy and anticipation of Christ's coming, a central theme of the Christmas season.

Oh, come, oh, come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
O come, O come, thou day-spring bright!
Pour on our souls thy healing light;
Dispel the long night�??s lingering gloom,
And pierce the shadows of the tomb.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
Oh, come, desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind;
Bid every strife and quarrel cease,
And fill the world with Heaven's peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
