O Come, O Come Emmanuel

Today marks the beginning of Advent - a time of preparation. It's such an interesting period, with its dual focus: backward (to when He came as an infant) and forward (to when He will come again as King). May it be a special time for you and your family.

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lowly exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!
