►LYRICS - O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears

Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight

Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
But bid our sad divisions cease
And be Thyself our King of peace

Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

LYRICS - Come Thou Long Expected Jesus
Come, Thou long-expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free
From our fears and sins release us
Let us find our rest in Thee

Israel's strength and consolation
Hope of all the earth Thou art
Dear desire of every nation
Joy of every longing heart

Born Thy people to deliver
Born a child and yet a King
Born to reign in us forever
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring

By Thine own eternal spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone
By Thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne

*LYRICS - O Come O Come Emmanuel*

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, desire of nations,  bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
But bid our sad divisions cease
And be Thyself our King of peace
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Shall come to thee, O Israel



*LYRICS - Come Thou Long Expected Jesus*

Oh come, Thou long-expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free
From our fears and sins release us
Let us find our rest in Thee

Israel's strength and consolation
Hope of all the earth Thou art
Dear desire of every nation
Joy of every longing heart

O born Thy people to deliver
Born a child and yet a King
Born to reign in us forever
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring

By Thine own eternal spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone
By Thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne

Nice...no autotune, no electronics, just good old traditional music.

[KPL]

the breaths between opening verses, so pure, so much talent, then the sisters heavenly voices coming in. i can’t describe how beautiful i find this..

[barneyboyle]

I love how happy the second girl always looks. She reminds me to smile more.

[CheetahSnowLeopard]

I love how they're close sisters yet the 3 voices are uniquely different.

[DeltaLead]

I’ve heard so many versions, this by far is the best.

[johnminer]

Thank you for radiating the light of Christ through your music. That light is so needed today.

[KN-ulxe]

Feels like I just came up on a house out in the country somewhere 100 years ago and found this family that loves the Lord and loves to express that.

[gagglesas]

Julianne's voice is something special

[stevenmorris]

Jesus already came the first time. He will come again!

[PatMcAnn]

The parents should be very proud of this amazingly talented family.

[thomaswilson]

I'm driving my 18 wheeler listening to this song with such a beautiful sky above me . Totally awesome. Thanks for making a old tired truck drivers day. Thank each an every one of yall.

[claybowman]

I can’t stop listening. This song makes my soul so happy. Praise Jesus!

[Athelstan]

The greatest rendition of o come o come Emmanuel. Pure perfection. 🙏

[jameskirk]

I left the Church a long time ago, before I was diagnosed with a rather serious mental illness which makes little room for hope or joy. I discovered your talented family through this video; the song is one of my Christmas favorites. You all are wonderful and Julianne's voice haunts me. Thank you for what you do and Merry Christmas.

[Shingen]

While the country goes crazy, we have the Petersens. <3

[ImNotGoofy]

To the dude playing slide guitar - you're a monster bro and I appreciate you immensely

[everest_bound]

I miss this in our world. This seems so rare and fleeting.

[bdub]

Not only are they making good music, but they are doing it as a family. Refreshing.

[WinstonNewYork]

About the most Heavenly thing I've ever heard. And me, a New Yorker, an Italian, a Catholic . . . Dear brothers and sisters of faith, if we keep to prayer and repentance, and the love of God, all will pass, and we will find peace and eternal goodness and love in the Lord. God bless all of you this Christmas season .
