O Come, O Come Emmanuel reflection

Reflect and pray for our world based on the Advent hymn, O Come, O Come Emmanuel (duration: 6.30).

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.

Thank you both for this beautiful reflection and prayer. Where there is darkness in the world it is good to be assured that somehow God is Emmanuel.
