Artist/Band: Whitney Houston
Lyrics for Song: O Come O Come Emanuel
Lyrics for Album: One Wish: The Holiday Album [2003]



O come o come Emanuel

And ransom captive Israel

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the Son of God appears



Rejoice! Rejoice!

Emanuel shall come to thee, o Israel



(Bumm, bumm, bumm, bumm)

Ah well, ooh

(Bumm, bumm, bumm)

Ooh



O come, Desire of nations, bind

Bind as one the hearts of all mankind

Bid Thou our sad divisions cease

And be Thyself our King of peace



(Rejoice!) Rejoice! (Rejoice!) Rejoice! (Ooh)

Emanuel shall come to thee, o Israel

(O Israel, come to thee)

Rejoice! (Rejoice!) Rejoice! (Ooh)

Emanuel shall come to thee, o Israel

(O Israel, come to thee)

Rejoice! (Rejoice!) Rejoice! (Ooh)

Emanuel shall come to thee, o Israel

(O Israel, come to thee)

Rejoice! (Rejoice!) Rejoice! (Ooh)

Emanuel shall

(Shall come)



He's gonna come o Israel

(Shall come)

Don't you worry, God's gonna be there

(Emanuel shall come)

Emanuel, He's gonna come

O Israel

Ooh yeah
