Veni, Veni Emmanuel - Gregorian Chant

The favourite O Come, O Come Emmanuel carol was originally written in Latin text in the 12th Century.

This is often mistaken for a Christmas hymn, but it is actually meant for Advent -- the liturgical season of preparation for Christmas. Emmanuel means "God with Us".

The Latin translation as follows:

Veni, veni Emmanuel;
Captivum solve Israel,
Qui gemit in exilio,
Privatus Dei Filio.

Refrain
Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel,
Nascetur pro te, Israel!

Veni, veni, O Oriens;
Solare nos adveniens,
Noctis depelle nebulas,
Dirasque noctis tenebras.
Refrain

Veni, Clavis Davidica!
Regna reclude caelica;
Fac iter tutum superum,
Et claude vias inferum.
Refrain

Veni, veni Adonai!
Qui populo in Sinai,
Legem dedisti vertice,
In maiestate gloriae.
Refrain
