Every day this week, starting on Advent Sunday, I have posted one of the seven stanzas of the ninth-century Latin hymn "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," a Christian hymn for Advent and Christmas, translated by John Mason Neale (1818-1866). Yesterday I posted stanza 6 of that hymn. Here is the seventh and final stanza of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel." To read an article about that hymn, click here.
O come, Desire of Nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind;
Bid thou our sad divisions cease,
And be thyself our King of Peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
