Maverick City Music, featuring Naomi Raine and Nate Moore, performs a modern rendition of the classic Advent hymn 'O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.' The song expresses the longing of Israel for the Messiah's arrival, using imagery of captivity, exile, and deliverance. It calls for the 'Rod of Jesse' and 'Key of David' to free people from sin and death, opening the way to heaven. The repeated refrain 'Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel' shifts from anticipation to celebration, affirming that God is with us. The tag 'Has come to you O Israel' emphasizes the fulfillment of the promise in Christ's coming.

Verse 1

O come, O come, Emmanuel

And ransom captive Israel

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the Son of God appear


Chorus

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel


Verse 2

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free

Thine own from Satan's tyranny

From depths of hell Thy people save

And give them victory o'er the grave

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


Chorus 2

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel


Tag

Has come to you O Israel
