Songs for Advent: O Come, O Come, Emmanuel | 11.29.20

Text: Various

We pray because God has kept his promises.

10 “Then fear not, O Jacob my servant, declares the Lord, nor be dismayed, O Israel;

for behold, I will save you from far away, and your offspring from the land of their captivity.

Jacob shall return and have quiet and ease, and none shall make him afraid.

11 For I am with you to save you declares the Lord; I will make a full end of all the nations among whom I scattered you, but of you I will not make a full end.

I will discipline you in just measure, and I will by no means leave you unpunished. - Jeremiah 30: 10-11

For the Lord has ransomed Jacob and has redeemed him from hands too strong for him. - Jeremiah 31:11

We pray because Jesus is Emmanuel who came at the first advent.

14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. - Isaiah 7:14

We pray because Emmanuel will come again.

22 And I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David. He shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. - Isaiah 22:22

20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! - Revelation 22:20
