Listen to or sing, O Come O Come Emmanuel. This song was actually written by an unknown monk sometime before 800 AD. Between the Old and New Testaments there is a period of 400 years of silence from God. During this time God did not speak to his people Israel. This song expresses the longing that Israel felt during that period of silence. The joy the shepherds expressed at the birth of Jesus, is the joy of God coming down to his people after 400 years of silence.
Check out the video to listen to O Come O Come Emmanuel being sung by a traditional choir.
