Advent 2: O come, O come, Emmanuel
Musician and songwriter Steve Bell reveals the roots of O come O come
Emmanuel in traditional Advent prayers known as the O Antiphons–calling on
Christ using the mysterious titles given in Isaiah.
Bell’s wonderful contemporary version of the hymn is interwoven with seven sonnets corresponding to the seven O Antiphons, written and performed by English poet and priest Malcolm Guite.
“These are the names that give prophetic content to the name we have come to reverence and treasure so dearly, and in which we have come to rejoice.”
