  • I've played this tonight no less than 10 times...I am reading about Marcus Aurelius Clemens Prudentius because I'm fascinated by the man who could have written such lyrics and music who was born in 348 A.D. How absolutely AMAZING this is to think it was written SO long ago and yet Catholic Churches around the globe are singing it all of Advent Season. Inspiring, transcendental and gives hope to those who have been challenged by life's punches. Thank you Marcus Aurelius!

  • Thank you for the kind words! You should check out the history of O Come, O Come Emmanuel! Awesome story how that became a hymn, probably from Jewish Christians carrying the messianic witness of the Old Testament from maybe as early as the 5th Century until it found a place in the Church's liturgy sometime in about the 9th century.

  • Wow! Thank you so much for this recommendation! Yes, we at St James Cathedral in downtown Orlando, Fl O Come O Come Emmanuel a lot - we have arrangements even in our Mass parts... :) Thank you though for recommending my researching its origin as well. Merriest Christmas to you! Blessings, Dan

  • Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!

  • Not just catholic churches sing it. It is a favored Christmas hymn in many Protestant churches also.

  • @MrItzRandall because it is not a song of sin, it is a song of reconciliation between God and humanity, a song of revelation to humanity that we need no longer be consumed by lust.

  • disgusting, comment; filthy disgusting commet

  • @mothball22 This is the kind of thing we don't see enough of anymore; saying Merry Christmas. Seeing these last two posts made me very happy.

  • Man! Why'd they turn such a good hymn into this new-aged sounding stuff!

  • I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (January 2, Christmas 2), I filled in at a local Lutheran Church. I played this as the Hymn of the Day. I did so because the Gospel for today was John 1: 1-18. It is #295 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.

  • This is a nice arrangement of a favorite hymn. Thanks, mothball22!

  • I just came across this version through Google search. It is one of the most beautiful of all versions! The wonderful part about it is that it glorifies the Divine Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ by expressing in words and music the glorious truth of His character and essence! All praise be to the Father for this recording. May God bless mothball22, during the Christmas season of the Year of Our Lord 2010 and all who sing joyfully this glorious hymn!
