361. O Come, O Come, Emmanuel (Traditional Carol) - GospelVids.com - This song is an ancient plainsong from the 12th Century or earlier. Originally in Latin (Veni, Veni, Emmanuel), it was translated by Rev. John Mason Neale in 1851. The melody comes from a 15th Century processional of French Franciscan nuns, arranged by Thomas Helmore, but it too may have 8th Century Gregorian origins. The lyrics echo a number of biblical prophecies. The title is from Isaiah 7:14: "Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." (Hebrew for "God with us.") The "Rod of Jesse" comes from Isaiah 11:1: "There shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse"; Jesse was the father of David, second king of Israel. "Day-Spring" comes from Zacharias, father of John the Baptist. (Luke 1:78: "The dayspring from on high has visited us.") "Thou Key of David" is from Isaiah 22:22: "The key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder," a reference to Isaiah 9:6 "The government shall be upon His shoulder." It was originally used in the medieval church liturgy as a series of antiphons-short musical statements that were sung for the week of vesper services just before Christmas Eve. Each of these antiphons greets the anticipated Messiah with one of the titles ascribed to Him in the above quotes. It has been recorded by Joan Baez, Whitney Houston, Boyz II Men, Rick Wakeman and, of course, many choirs.
