about

This is a favorite Advent hymn here at DeguMoth Studios. We recorded it for our first ever Youtube video during Advent season of 2013.
We had fun arranging each verse a little differently.
Enjoy!

lyrics

Veni, veni Emmanuel!
Captivum solve Israel!
Qui gemit in exsilio,
Privatus Dei Filio.

(refrain:) Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.

Veni, O Sapientia,
Quae hic disponis omnia,
Veni, viam prudentiae
Ut doceas et gloriae.

Veni, O Jesse virgula,
Ex hostis tuos ungula,
De specu tuos tartari
Educ at antro barathri.

Veni, Clavis Davidica,
Regna reclude caelica,
Fac iter tutum supernum,
Et claude vias inferum.

Veni, veni O Oriens!
Solare nos adveniens,
Noctis depelle nebulas,
Dirasque mortis tenebras.

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.
