"O Come, O Come Emmanuel" is a Christian hymn for Advent and Christmas. The text is based on the biblical prophecy from Isaiah 7:14 that states that God will give Israel a sign that will be called Immanuel. The melody is derived from a 15th-century processional of Franciscan nuns and originally paired with a Latin text ("Veni, Veni Emmanuel"). The English translation was published by John Mason Neale in 1851. It is one of the most solemn and hauntingly beautiful Advent hymns, anticipating the birth of Christ.
