Oh, there are several versions online, but I love this song and wanted to find a solitary voice with a little flair but not too much stylistic change.  That was difficult to find.  I had almost given up when I ran across Jamie.  I have no idea who she is, but I like her rendition of the song, so that&#8217;s the one I included.  So, in a sense, the internet gave us YouTube, which allowed Jamie to give us this performance, which allowed me to share it with you &#8211; in the perfect spirit of Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>She only sings two verses of the song, but the lyrics are here in their entirety, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carols.org.uk\/o_come_come_emmanuel.htm\">courtesy of carols.org.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>O come, O come, Emmanuel<br \/>\nAnd ransom captive Israel<br \/>\nThat mourns in lonely exile here<br \/>\nUntil the Son of God appear<br \/>\nRejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel<br \/>\nShall come to thee, O Israel.<\/p>\n<p>O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free<br \/>\nThine own from Satan&#8217;s tyranny<br \/>\nFrom depths of Hell Thy people save<br \/>\nAnd give them victory o&#8217;er the grave<br \/>\nRejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel<br \/>\nShall come to thee, O Israel.<\/p>\n<p>O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer<br \/>\nOur spirits by Thine advent here<br \/>\nDisperse the gloomy clouds of night<br \/>\nAnd death&#8217;s dark shadows put to flight.<br \/>\nRejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel<br \/>\nShall come to thee, O Israel.<\/p>\n<p>O come, Thou Key of David, come,<br \/>\nAnd open wide our heavenly home;<br \/>\nMake safe the way that leads on high,<br \/>\nAnd close the path to misery.<br \/>\nRejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel<br \/>\nShall come to thee, O Israel.<\/p>\n<p>O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,<br \/>\nWho to Thy tribes, on Sinai&#8217;s height,<br \/>\nIn ancient times did&#8217;st give the Law,<br \/>\nIn cloud, and majesty and awe.<br \/>\nRejoice! Rejoice!
