Check out our special Christmas version of this video here: • O Come, Emmanuel - Chr...
We love the Holiday Season. Why? It's a great excuse to be extra nice to each other. =) ... And we love Christmas music, lights, presents, and the excitement of our sleepless children anticipating the advent of Christmas day. We know there are many out there who do not celebrate Christmas or believe in what it may represent. This song is not meant to exclude anyone. We hope this song is an opportunity to reflect on everything we are blessed with in life -- family, a beautiful earth, a place to rest our head, the warmth of the sun. The lyrics of this piece speak of being "ransomed" from captivity. In general terms, at some point or another in our lives we find ourselves at the receiving end of a "ransom" -- a rescue by someone or something -- even as simple as a note from a friend, a hug from a child, a much-needed vacation, or the unconditional affection of a loyal dog. That is what this song represents to us. People may define the "rescue" moments in life differently, but the meaning of the moments remain the same. To many, including us, the story of The Savior is the sweetest and most priceless "ransom" of all. To Him we dedicate this song.
And with this video we wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a bright future filled with "rescue" moments. We love you!
A thousand THANK YOUs to John Garbett and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for allowing us access to their beautiful Jerusalem Movie Set where this was filmed. We felt transported to the Holy Land as we played music and filmed there. It was an incredible experience.
And many many thanks to Marshall McDonald, an incredible friend and example who co-wrote this arrangement.

Lyrics to O Come, Emmanuel
O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
[Refrain] 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.
[Refrain]
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.
[Refrain]
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.
[Refrain]
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.
[Refrain]
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.
[Refrain]
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.
[Refrain]
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

Well, l am a Critical Care Nurse and didn't know what else to do for my client. I asked if l should play a piece of music because music is therapeutic and the answer was yes. Played this heavenly music on my mobile phone and behold miracle happened. Client slept like a child where all sedatives failed. Strength regained and asked for more and so healing won for Client now off Nasogastric Tube, swallowing test passed and now eating slowly and medication reduced. Peace, relaxed nerves achieved and getting stronger. Everyday Client asked for this particular Music and eyes shut while enjoying the piano and only God knows what else but felt good. Thank you for this music of which l learnt to sing passionately as a child too. Beautifully played, Bless you The Piano Guys, indeed. Bless you!

I'm not exactly a religious person, haven't been to church in years, and yet hearing this song gave me the clearest image from my childhood of walking into church on a cold winter morning with my grandparents. Sometimes nostalgia hits you like a freight train. I just sat and cried for a minute or two, recalling old memories with them. Thank you for this song.

To all those who say 'I'm not a religious person but............' I was just the same as you for 40 years. I'd listen and be moved by these great pieces of music without ever really wondering why. One day, all that changed and my life was transformed overnight. I'd say to you all, seek Emmanuel while you can. Fullness of God in a child, given for you. When that reality touches your heart, you'll never be the same. Bless you all.

You don’t find a cellist like this every day. His bowing is impeccable, his notes flawless. He’s technically perfect, but plays with so much emotion it’s as if he’s playing it straight from his heart. A cello is a beautiful thing, but what is it without someone like this to make music on it?

Woke up this morning at 3:50 am. This song was in my mind and on my heart. Anxiety over bills unpaid, bills due yesterday when the pay check is still over a week away, wouldn’t allow me to sleep.

It brought tears to my eyes. And I sat praying for His Jewish people in their hour of trial, to Come, Come soon my Lord. This sad and sorry world needs YOU! I need you. And yet it seems we watch what must play out! Still my prayer is “Maranatha, come soon!” Thy will be done! There is a beginning, a middle and an end to things. A time You will make all things new and heal what only you, our God, can heal and mend. Come soon!

[@WayaAskin]

Oh, sweet person, you are so right! "Emmanuel," our Messiah, came 2,019-ish years ago, lived a perfect life, made it evident He was Deity -- equal with God, God in man's skin -- and after He died He rose again. Without question, if you follow Him since He's still alive (obviously, because God is eternal; He created time so He had to exist outside of time), you will be assured of the fact you will be in the most beautiful place imaginable and be reunited with the ones you love and lost. Jesus is all about putting broken things back together! I hope this encourages you. I know how you feel. My heart goes out to you. Please contact me via my screen name -- it's my email address also -- if you need someone to talk to, someone to encourage you.

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 Rod of Jesse, free Thine own from Satan's tyranny; From depths of hell Thy people save, And give them victory o'er the grave. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Thou Dayspring, from on high, And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh; Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, And death's dark shadows put to flight. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel.

"I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people" Corinthians 6:16 We are bound by a love so great that the only way we could miss it is if we refuse to see it, these are moments where he is angry but more sad then we could ever imagine. We have had a father who began time with us already in his mind, who wishes nothing more then to love us and share eternity with us. All that is required of us is that we recognize it and choose to love. The two greatest commandments are simple "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31 We are children of god, heirs to the infinite.All the rest falls away in the span of eternity but these things remain, thank you, wherever two or more gather after all, God is with us and has blessed us.

This arrangement is so beautiful. For me, music is the way that I feel God's love most deeply. I have lost 3 loved ones this year, along with many other struggles involving relationships, etc. I am ready for Christ to reign again, for He will reign in peace. I am moved to tears almost every time I hear this song, because the people of Israel were praying for their Messiah. And then, He came. And they were filled with immense joy. The end of this song expresses that joy, and I CANNOT WAIT to feel that feeling, when Christ wraps His arms around me, and I can be filled with the light of Christ. Merry (early) Christmas!! 💕

Most people don’t realize this actually isn’t a “christmas” song. It’s actually a 1710 hymn praising our Adonai and about His return! 🙏🏼🔥🕊✝️ it’s one of my most favorite old hymns. “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 Rod of Jesse, free Thine own from Satan's tyranny; From depths of hell Thy people save, And give them victory o'er the grave. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Thou Dayspring, from on high, And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh; Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, And death's dark shadows put to flight. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Thou Key of David, come And open wide our heav'nly home; Make safe the way that leads on high, And close the path to misery. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Adonai, Lord of might, Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height, In ancient times didst give the law In cloud and majesty and awe. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel.”

[@TheUKNutter]

I know, the christmas songs are horrible in my opinion. Same songs every year.

[@SicVisPacem1]

+TheUKNutter see, the thing is that these songs came from a time when the idea of The Kingdom Of God was preached and when Jesus was boldly proclaimed as the undisputed and sovereign king. When believers didn't care if people were offended that we believed in only one way through which you could be saved. I'm not a tremendous fan of these old hymns but every now and then I find one awakens a longing for the old ways and faith.

I mean the ones that I'm forced to listen to on the radio, and every single station has them. There's not 1 station where Slade isn't played, for instance.

Beautiful song but it is quite sad and ominous as well. Sad because of missed opportunities for knowing the messiah who came. All the lost souls in the world today unaware of the love of the messiah and the judgment ahead. Ominous because He comes again to judge a wicked and perverse world. He will indeed comfort Israel but the path that lies ahead is painful. "Oh Jerusalem, how often I would have gathered you as a hen gathers her chicks but you would not. Therefore your house is left unto you desolate until you say 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord '".
