about

This is my modern version of the Latin hymn Veni, Veni Emmanuel (O Come, O Come Emmanuel). I've tried to keep it light, with just guitar and piano in the background until the later verses, when I build in orchestra. I'd love your feedback!

lyrics

Veni, Clavis Davidica,
regna reclude caelica,
fac iter tutum superum,
et claude vias inferum.
R: Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel,
nascetur pro te Israel!

Veni, veni O Oriens,
solare nos adveniens,
noctis depelle nebulas,
dirasque mortis tenebras.
R: Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel,
nascetur pro te Israel!

Veni, veni, Rex Gentium,
veni, Redemptor omnium,
ut salvas tuos famulos
peccati sibi conscios.
R: Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel,
nascetur pro te Israel!

VENI veni, Emmanuel
captivum solve Israel,
qui gemit in exsilio,
privatus Dei Filio.
R: Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel,
nascetur pro te Israel!
