It is coming up to the time of year that Christians celebrate Advent and the Nativity, so other songs will have to wait a little while I upload some Christmas songs and carols. A good place to start is this one which my friend Peter's vicar has requested I sing next Wednesday at their Fellowship meeting. On one of the sites from which I sought the lyrics, I gleaned this information:
O Come, O Come Emmanuel carol was originally written in Latin text in the 12th Century. The author of the words and composer to the music of O Come, O Come Emmanuel is unknown. It is , however believed that the melody was of French origin and added to the text a hundred years later. The Latin was translated into English by John Mason Neale in 1851.

I have just produced an eBook containing 50 songs (first volume hopefully provided it sells) which can be seen and purchased by following this link:
