Emmanuel Lyrics


Oh come, oh 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, oh Israel
Long ago the earth lay sleeping waiting for the darkest night
To bring with it the dove of peace rising on the wings, wings of the sun
Rising on the wings of the sun
Oh come, oh come Thou day spring bright
Pour on our souls Thy healing light
Dispel the long night's lingering gloom and pierce the shadows of the tomb
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel shall come to thee, oh Israel
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel shall come to thee, oh Israel

An English folk group from Hull, Yorkshire, the Watersons performed mainly traditional songs with little or no accompaniment. Their distinctive sound came from their close harmonies. Original members were Norma Waterson, Mike Waterson, and Lal Waterson, with their cousin John Harrison from Kingston High School. They had a skiffle band in the early 1960s but moved on to playing more traditional material. They were briefly known as "The Folksons".
