O come, O come, Emmanuel is a translation of the Latin text ("Veni, veni, Emmanuel") by John Mason Neale and Henry Sloane Coffin in the mid-19th century. It is a metrical version of a collation of various Advent Antiphons (the acrostic O Antiphons), which now serves as a popular Advent and Christmas hymn. Its origins are unclear, it is thought that the antiphons are from at least the 8th Century, but "Veni, veni Emmanuel" may well be 12th Century in origin. The text is based on the biblical prophecy from Isaiah 7:14 that states that God will give Israel a sign that will be called Immanuel (Lit.: God with us). Matthew 1:23 states fulfillment of this prophecy in the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.

Whitney Houston - One of those daysby ashlerzgz1,836,229 views
As I listen, I can't help but shake my head in disbelief at what I am hearing! This is, in all accounts, the best version of this song (IMHO). This is a totally spectacular rendition of this song. Hearing how glorious Whitney sounds singing this song, and how wonderful Mervin Warren sounds doing the background vocals just has me beside myself. And, we're both amazed at how beautiful this song is!
