O Emmanuel (chant with neumes)
O Emmanuel, Rex et legifer noster,
exspectatio Gentium, et Salvator earum:
veni ad salvandum nos, Domine, Deus noster.
Literally:
O Emmanuel, our King and lawgiver.
longing of nations and their Savior,
come to save us, Lord our God.
in the Household Book of Blessings and Prayers:
O Emmanuel, our King and Giver of the Law:
come to save us, Lord our God!
in “Veni Emmanuel”:
Veni, veni Emmanuel!
Captivum solve Israel!
Qui gemit in exilio,
Privatus Dei Filio.
Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
nascetur pro te, Israel.
in “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”:
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.
