This is prayerful reflection on the Advent hymn, O Come, O Come Emmanuel. It features a fresh musical arrangement, and encouragements to pray for our broken, hurting world, which longs for the coming of "God with us".

The words of the hymn are a translation from a 13th Century latin text, and the refrain has been adapted by Sam. The final verse which is read out comes from the Jubilate hymns version, available here.
