O Come, O Come, Emmanuel Revised text by Rev. Tracy Howe, 2020
O come, O come, Emmanuel And free us from the bondage we’re in still Exploitation, violence and greed, Come break the chains of white supremacy Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel. Can liberate with love and power still.
O come, green shoot of Jesse, free Those dying at the hands of the police Restore the land to whom it belongs, So borders melt away into songs. Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel. Can liberate with love and power still.
O come now Dayspring, come and cheer The joy of all the ancestors here. Let hope and beauty never part So love, not fear will be our heart Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel. Can liberate with love and power still.
