O come, O come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel O come, Thou Day-Spring Come and cheer Our spirits by Thine advent here Disperse the gloomy clouds of night And death’s dark shadows put to flight Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel Shall come to thee, o Israel O come, Thou Key of David, come And open wide our heavenly home Make safe the way that leads on high And close the path to misery Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel Shall come to thee, o Israel

Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen aus einer Wurzel zart, wie uns die Alten sungen, von Jesse kam die Art und hat ein Blümlein 'bracht mitten im kalten Winter, wohl zu der halben Nacht. Das Röslein, das ich meine, davon Jesaja sagt, hat uns gebracht alleine Marie, die reine Magd; aus Gottes ew’gem Rat hat sie ein Kind geboren wohl zu der halben Nacht. Das Blümelein so kleine, das duftet uns so süß; mit seinem hellen Scheine vertreibt's die Finsternis. Wahr' Mensch und wahrer Gott, hilft uns aus allem Leide, rettet von Sünd und Tod.

about

I found these recordings from around 2010 a few years ago. The hard drive they were on is now defunct, so we'll just go with these funky mixes I did back then.

The German song "Es ist ein Ros entsprungen" is the original version of "Lo, How A Rose E'er Blooming", and "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" was originally sung in Latin and the German and the French can duke it out over who first translated it into their language.
