O come, O come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears
that longing...full of expectation yet waiting, wondering. A nation, a world waiting for the Redeemer.
Within the lines of this song on the longing for the Savior is the reminder that He is here. Emmanuel - God with us. And Emmanuel did come to us. The reason to celebrate Christmas. Emmanuel - God with us.
