O Come, O Come,
Emmanuel
(First Sunday in Advent)
“This Advent we look to
the Wise Men to teach us where to focus our attention.
We set our sights on things above,
where God is. We draw closer to Jesus...
When our Advent journey ends, and
we reach the place where Jesus resides in Bethlehem,
may we, like the Wise Men, fall on our knees and adore him as our true and
only King.”

From
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_come,_O_come,_Emmanuel:
| O Come, O Come, Emmanuel is a
Christian
hymn for
Advent.
It is a translation of a
Latin hymn, Veni, Veni, Emmanuel, itself a metrical
paraphrase of the
O Antiphons, a series of
plainchant
antiphons attached to the
Magnificat at
Vespers
over the final days before
Christmas. The 1861 translation from
Hymns Ancient and Modern is the most prominent by far in the
English-speaking world, but other English translations also exist.
Translations into other modern languages (particularly German) are also
in widespread use.
The words and the music of "O come, O come, Emmanuel" developed
separately. The Latin text is first documented in Germany in 1710,
whereas the tune most familiar in the English-speaking world has its
origins in 15th-century France.The pre-history of the text stretches
back to the origins of the
O Antiphons themselves, which were in existence by, at the latest,
the eighth century. However, to speak meaningfully of the text of the
hymn per se, they would need to be paraphrased in strophic, metrical
form. It is certainly within the realm of possibility that efforts along
those lines could have been made quite early; we know, for instance,
that they were paraphrased extensively by the English poet Cynewulf in a
poem written before the year 800.[1]
However, despite popular imagination of an early origin for "O Come, O
Come, Emmanuel," the hymn's history is first substantiated only much
later... |

What Do People Do?
Many Christians in the United States attend a church service on the
first Sunday of Advent and may engage in activities such as special
prayers and contributing to ideas on enhancing peace. Many Advent
traditions are observed in the United States in the prelude to Christmas
Day. For example, the Advent wreath is becoming increasingly popular in
the United States. The wreath can be seen in various churches across the
nation around this time of the year.
Advent calendars of all designs are also given as gifts at this time of
the year. The calendars feature openings in the form of windows or doors
that are numbered to count the days to Christmas. Calendars may contain
chocolates, toys, or candy and are given to children as a fun way to
observe the Christmas countdown. Some traditional Advent calendars show
24 days but many Advent calendars showing 25 days, with the last opening
on Christmas Day... |

11/30/15 - "Take time":
Some thoughts as we enter
the holiday season...
It is important to remember
that not everyone is surrounded by large wonderful families. Some of us
have problems during the holidays, and some of us are overcome with
great sadness when we remember the loved ones who are not with us. Many
people have no one with whom to spend these times, and are besieged by
loneliness. We all need caring, loving thoughts right now. Please pause
a bit during these hectic days to consider what you can do to lighten
the burdens of someone else who may have family problems, health
struggles, job issues, financial crises, or worries of any kind, and
just need to know someone cares. Do it for all of us, for nobody is
immune.

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
Words:
Combined from various antiphons by an unknown author, possibly in the 12th
Century
(Veni, veni Emanuel);
translated from
Latin
to English by
John M. Neale
(24 Jan1818 – 06 Aug 1866),
Mediaeval Hymns, 1851. Neale’s original translation began, “Draw nigh,
draw nigh, Emmanuel"
Music:
“Veni Emmanuel,” from a 15th Century processional of French Franciscan nuns
(the setting for the funeral hymn)
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.
O come, Thou Wisdom from on high,
Who orderest all things mightily;
To us the path of knowledge show,
And teach us in her ways to go.
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny;
From depths of hell Thy people save,
And give them victory over the grave.
O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death’s dark shadows put to flight.
O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
O come, O come, great Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes on Sinai’s height
In ancient times once gave the law
In cloud and majesty and awe.
O come, Thou Root of Jesse’s tree,
An ensign of Thy people be;
Before Thee rulers silent fall;
All peoples on Thy mercy call.
O come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind;
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease,
And be Thyself our King of Peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
