my favorite Christmas Song

rough translation for folks 

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

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny;
From depths of hell Thy people save,
And give them victory o'er the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Dayspring, from on high,
And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh;
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, Adonai, Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
In ancient times didst give the law
In cloud and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

And I'm here just, just like I used to be
We were here in old days with you, with me
All my fears have gone when you whisper to me
No matter how near or far apart, apart

When you feel so lonely, I'll be here to shelter you
When you feel so lonely, I'll be here, here for you

If I could fly above the clouds like all the birds
And I could hold you for a while to let you feel my pulse
Still here, all alone

My whole life and all my heart
You're my whole life and all my heart

And I'm here
Home, home
With you
With me

Whakarongo kaitito/composer is Ngoi Pēwhairangi assisted by her whanau/family, as a help for people of all cultures to learn a action waiata/song. The composition follows the old school style

 

ps. TJ & Huri help to keep the old school style fresh and relevant
