Starfield's rendition of the classic Advent hymn 'O Come, O Come, Emmanuel' is a worshipful plea for the coming of the Messiah. The song captures the longing of Israel in exile, mourning and waiting for the Son of God to appear. It calls for the Day-Spring to dispel the darkness of night and death's shadows, bringing hope and cheer. The repeated refrain 'Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel' shifts from anticipation to celebration, affirming that the Lord has come. The song blends traditional Advent themes with a modern worship style, emphasizing hope and the fulfillment of God's promise in Christ.

O come, O 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, 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!
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to Thee, O Israel!
Hallelujah! Emmanuel
The Lord has come! (The Lord has come!) O Israel! (O Israel!)
Hallelujah! Emmanuel (Emmanuel)
The Lord has come! (The Lord has come!) O Israel! (O Israel!)
