Oh Come, Emmanuel: Latin Verses missing in Translation

[paulrace]

A reader writes:

I was looking at the lyrics for O Come O Come Emmanuel (including the latin lyrics). In the Latin lyrics, you had the lyrics about Adonai. However, I'm not seeing that verse in the English lyrics.

However, this is a great site! Thank you!

Thank you for getting in touch. There are many verses to these old songs, so many that almost nobody sings them all in English or Latin (or German, or French, or. . . . ). Sometimes one subset of verses is sung when the song is performed in its original language and another subset of verses is used when the song is translated into English and printed in a hymnal.

Here is a link to a more complete set of verses in both languages.

Hope this helps. Have a great day - Paul
