Redeem thy captive Israel That into exile drear is gone, Far from the face of God's dear Son. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, thou Branch of Jesse! draw The quarry from the lion's claw; From the dread caverns of the grave, From nether hell, thy people save. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, O come, thou Dayspring bright! Pour on our souls thy healing light; Dispel the long night's lingering gloom, And pierce the shadows of the tomb. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O Come, thou Lord of David’s Key! The royal door fling wide and free; Safeguard for us the heavenward road, And bar the way to death's abode. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, O come, Adonai, Who in thy glorious majesty From that high mountain clothed in awe, Gavest thy folk the elder Law. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. +++ CHOR GESANG - Das Musikmagazin +++   / chorgesang2016      / chorgesangchannel     / chorgesang     / chor_gesang   +++ Credits +++ http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00gkvtk http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/... http://www.kings.cam.ac.uk/choir/inde... #ChoirOfKingsCollegeCambridge #StephenCleobury #ChorGesang #Musikmagazin #Knabenchor
