- Hayley Westenra's cover of this classic Advent hymn (in Latin and English).
I absolutely love this song, and was happy this morning so thought I would make a little compilation in time for Christmas - as much as to learn the Latin lyrics as anything else! :D Oh, but I should mention that the English lyrics are my own literal translation. I didn't want to take away from the beauty of the Latin. The English lyrics to the most-common English version can be found here though: www.carols.org.uk/o_come_come_...
I really hope you enjoy this, and Merry Christmas everyone!! x Ben
P.S: Arghhh!! Just spotted two typos!! At 1:14, it should read 'Dirasque noctis nEbulas' and at 2:02 the line is 'Regna reclude cAElica'!!

Latin is truly, a beautiful language.
A pity something as vile as the false representants of god always keep using it.

@@FreedomAndPeaceOnly Is the One not All? But how many can understand the Demiurge from the One? Who can tell the Atman from the Brahman? If the intent is pure, it will go where it needs, and draw the soul with it.
You should listen to this in Hebrew. I've sorta got a bone to pick with the Romans for starting the Dark Ages.
@@jconnor117 there really wasn’t a “DarkAge”. Learn yr history from authentic sources.
Can’t believe a video I made for fun has now hit 1m views on CZcams. That’s honestly so crazy to me. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 😀
I'm not sure that an atheist like myself should get goosebumps from this, but God help me I do. Merry Christmas to all.
GOD? thought you said you were atheist..
Because God loves you and I equally. #TheGreatestOfTheseIsLove
Silas , I am going to call your name before the God, whom this song is about. I pray that you will come to know His amazing and awesome love!
geez guys, give this guy a break. he believes in what he believes. no one should force another to be in a religion.
Perhaps an awakening spirit? Thank you for the Christmas greeting.
I just can't help but feel a surge of joy when listening to this. Imagine how we will feel once we see his glorious return.
O glorious Day ❣️💕✌️
Or, more urgently, the joy once we get rid of all those wicked world leaders.
AMEN!!!!!!
Heavens rip open as flocks of angels pour down, like a bag of dust scattered by the wind. The whole earth is shattered in an instant, and inhaled into Heaven.
This may be my favorite song ever. I'm going to sing this to my baby once it's born :)
Ladder Alice Congratulations! Wishing you a smooth and happy pregnancy 😊
so you are going to call him Emmanual

I am a French catholic but this is a wonderful oeucumenic Christian song for all people who believe in Jesus Chist who comes to visit us everyday!
Do you happen to know a French version of the same song? I'm working on my French and I figured I'd immerse myself in French Christmas songs. God bless, mon frère!
I hope France never become muslim!
@@adamambrozewicz2676
Amen
@@adamambrozewicz2676 I hope so too. French are racist fanatics and you just proved it.
I'm not a French lol
Tears literally flow down uncontrollably. I can't help not think of my deceased mother who gave us the best Christmas ever, each and every year. Mary loved the story of Jesus. Now in heaven, I know she can hear this song. Definitely, the voice of an angel. Simply love it!
I am a seminarian this is my favorite hymn. Love from sri lanka❤️🇱🇰
I swear I’m listening to an angel right now
I may speak, read, think, and reason in English, but nothing can be taken away from the awesome beauty and intensity of the Latin. Thank you for this beautiful treasure!
Glory to God in the Highest.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis Deo
And peace on Earth to the people God loves
Amen!
Amen
Amen
I love these Latin hymns, makes me thank God that I was born into His Catholic Church.
I wish the Catholic Church would allow use of latin again
@@throwaway9226 I'm pretty sure the Church does allow it. For example, there are whole masses said in Latin. (Honestly I love the Latin Mass if you ever get the chance to go I would honestly recommend it)
@@joshuawills4483 there are those occasional places, but most parishes treat latin as heretical
@@throwaway9226 just see if there's an fssp parish near you
@@codyevaristo8029 there is one, but its quite far away and my archbishop will likely find an excuse to shut it down as he's a bloody-minded fool. Its also in another lockdown zone
literally brought tears to my eyes. Amen. Thank you Lord Jesus for dying for me I await your second coming xxx
זה יקרה . . . . . ....
latin is a stunning language
Beautiful hymn, sung beautifully. I'm Hindu but thankfully my religion teaches respect for all other religions too.

Find out on your own, something will come differently...
Jesus Christ is the only way!
@@angelicaperez4866 "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father but by me." Words of Jesus in John 14:6
Geeze guys, let people enjoy things without forcing religion on them.
If hinduism teaches respect for other religions, why do I hear stories of christians being killed, abused, marginalized in India?
When I first played this song, I teared up. So beautiful, so angelic.
I can't quit listening to this song. It is absolutely beautiful. It almost moves me to tears.
What an arrangement! What a voice!?! What . . .a Savior!!
How did you capture an angel to sing this for you????? This was spine-tingling! So beautiful beyond measure!

Her name is hayley westernra
This is beautiful beyond words. Listening to it sung in Latin is a more powerful experience than listening to it sung in English. Thank you so much.
lanxnguyen You’re welcome so much! Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!
I love Latin I know it and love your songs
Somehow I feel right singing it in Latin than in English.
☺ same here
It always sounds better in the language it was written in
Me too, to me I think it’s bet on the fact that it was written in Latin
Annoyingly you can't even hear or sing this in Latin in a Catholic Church!
Because latin isn't "relevant".....
@@throwaway9226 Unless you go to a Latin Mass that is
(I love the Latin Mass)
I remember singing these songs in church as a child. Latin was the language of the Roman Catholic Church. Mass was in Latin, hymns were in Latin.
I am Roman Catholic also. However, I don't ever remember hearing this hymn sung at any masses. It would have been perfect for Christmas midnight mass.
It is a hymn for the last 7 days before Christmas : one verse per day. The lyrics of the verses are the words of the great "O" antiphons.
Love Haley Westenra. I attend a Tridentine mass on Sundays. Today being the first day of Advent, the choir sang this in Latin. Beautiful.
I will come back on the First Sunday of Advent
Which will be happening in 8 weeks time
Thank you so much it brings back beautiful memories..I use to sing this song n Latin at Midnight Mass all threw my childhood!! It’s so beautiful!
By far the best version of "Veni, veni Emmanuel "I have ever heard. I love it!!!
we used this in my Latin class when I was in 8th grade, its been four years and this brings back so many memories
Almost 1000 likes! Thank you so much, guys. Seeing the views climb on this fills me with such joy every Christmas :) You guys rock. A very Merry Christmas to each and every one of you!
Sang this a child. Has always been each years intro to December. Can't live without it. It sticks. At long last, a translation, and Hayley (ex Celtic Woman) is perfect.
The most beautiful Advents song I have ever heard It always profoundly touches my heart this song is full of hope and love! May the Lord bless you all! A Dutch Roman Catholic.
Talk about chills 🙂 her voice is so lovely 😢
I listen to this now for hope; and to torment the soul. We are not more worthy than many previous generations, and far less worthy than most.
God help us but we will probably have to suffer terribly before the end 😔
Literally brings tears to my eyes. So beautiful
She has an amazing voice 😍🥰🥰 Glory to God in the highest
Just Heavenly...
She has the voice of an angel, doesn't she? 😇 Thanks for watching.
Dang she has a really beautiful voice
Listening these songs every early morning while exercising makes me feel alive the whole day everyday, Thank you Lord and praise you
This is so beautiful and I very much appreciate you including the lyrics.
What a glorious song and heavenly voice to sing it. I wish the Mass was still given in Latin. I miss that. Thank you for uploading this and sharing it.
The Mass is still given in Latin in some Catholic parishes.
I wish it was in Latin, but more importantly I wish it was the Traditional Latin Mass instead of the New Mass.
@Brad Kaple there are traditional Latin Masses available. I've been going to them my whole life 😃
@@stephaniemoolman2032 true. Just depends where you are. Some places have great availability, and others do not. Unfortunately, in my area, there really are no options that's in a reasonable drive.
@Brad Kaple aw, I'm sorry it's not available to you 😢
This song clears my mind and gives me peace
same... so lovely
I am awe struct at this piece
Could not imagine thinking there’s nothing out there after listening to something so sublime
so BEAUTIFUL it put me in tears
What a heavenly voice
Will be singing this as the opening hymn (in English) for the start of Advent tomorrow.
225,000+ views! Amazing, guys - thank you. How's everyone's Christmas preparations coming along? :) Ben x
Christmas preparations are going great!And by the way, I'm having a concert next Tuesday and we the chorale are going to be singing this beautiful song along with the other choirs. I simply love this song. Been listening to it for a whole month haha. Greetings from Houston.
+Victoria Caballero Hi Victoria, thanks for your comment - great to hear that! Houston, TX! Wow. Amazing to think people watch my little video all the way over there. Much love to you from Sheffield, UK and a very Merry Christmas. Enjoy your concert. Ben x
+medicboyuk I love this video/song. But I just can't seem to get it on mobile. Did you turn mobile viewing off? Please change this!
+DemoZ I don't think so, but let me check this out for you when I'm home later and I'll see what I can do :)
+DemoZ I have looked into it and see no reason why it should not be working. Try again for me tomorrow and let me know if it isn't working then. If so, I'll send a message to CZcams - I really don't know what the problem should be as there was previously no issue. Thanks a lot for letting me know.
Absolutely fabulous song, heard it first time and could not stop listen to it.
Exquisite. The purity of Hayley's voice gives me goosebumps.
I sing this song every year in my church's choir and it's absolutely beautiful
The only thing I don't like (if that's even possible because of its extreme beauty), is the phrasing.
It seems all wrong.
So many times I want the singer to pause (or tie) for a crotchet, and then proceed. E.g. "Qui ge-mit in ex-ilio-", as opposed to "Qui gemit in Exi-ilio"
It seems like what was meant for this sublime hymn was lost, like some children had accidentally found it and just 'went for it', and then all the World copied what they'd done without ever thinking.
This is the most beautiful rendition of this song I’ve ever heard
In mass, instead of english, my grandma would start speaking the old way (Latin). For 34 years of her life, the catholic church, everything was in Latin, and so she taught me, and some of my many cousins some Latin songs.
300k views! Blown over. To each and every one of you watching.. I wish you a very Merry Christmas, indeed 🎄 Ben x
medicboyuk thank you for posting this beautiful song. Merry Christmas to you and God bless!
Lorien Hayley Westenra :)
medicboyuk thank you for posting this. It’s beauty is beyond words. There’s something very special about this song, and the images you chose for the video. God bless
This is "Ecclesiastical Latin" which uses Italian pronunciation
Church bop right there. Whole mass gets lit when the choir drops this

Cudne. Przyjdź Panie Jezu, Emmanuelu.
The scenery though👌
How’s everyone enjoying their Advent? Thanks so so much for watching and all your comments. Ben :)
Advents going great! The trees up now, the songs are a-ringing throughout the house, and this here tune is giving me the feels!
Simply delighted that, even with Christmas now come and gone for another year (sad face in extremis), this video is still making its way to the 200,000 view point!!! I am utterly overjoyed at the lovely comments from people and knowing that all of you enjoy watching it makes me feel really good inside :) So this is now just a little plea to check out my other videos, too, and to like and subscribe my channel. It'd mean a lot (like.. A LOT a lot). And who knows.. perhaps one day I'll post something that surpasses this one? I certainly hope so :) But seriously, to each and every one of you: thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.
its so............calming
well... my eyes welled up. it's so beautiful, seeing the stars along with it made it so magical.
Przepiękna pieśń, przenika i oczyszcza duszę i umysł. Emmanuel, Bóg jest z nami, w nas i dla nas. Błogosławionych Świąt ❤️
I came here looking for the O Come Emmanuel version of the Penny Dreadful season finale. This one turned out to be even better!
Gloria Patri et Filii et Spiritus Sancto! Gloria in unum Deum! Ahaha, what great power this radiates. Long life of joy and good fruit unto you, so that you may glorify the Lord.
How can anyone believe that there is no God, no divinity... after hearing this most beautiful song!
Easy, we're not blind. But we can appreciate beautiful music
Amazing. I'm watching this video exactly 2 years from the day it was uploaded. That must be some sign...
Hayley Westenra's voice is the perfect match to this song. Hauntingly beautiful....thanks for posting this version! Merry Christmas....
Has always been my favorite hymn
This is so beautiful and peaceful. Pacem in terris...
Thank you. Peace on earth, indeed :)
Pax domini sit semper vobiscum
Medicboyuk, GasconyKid, JoshEl and all - wish you all for a very happy Christmas. Gloria in excelcis Deo....
Thank you so much! Love this hymn, so seldom heard.
It is actually sung every (or nearly every) advent in traditional Christian churches, but sadly American Evangelicalism has, for the most part, done away with advent and traditional hymns in favor of CCM "worship songs."
My favourite Advent hymn. This Latin version is exquisite. Thank you so much for uploading. Merry Christmas!
We listened/watched this in class today. So captivatingly beautiful.
beautifule song!
yup
yes it's right
Did you just reply to your own comment?
It's such a heavenly and lovely voice. It touches my heart deeply. Praise the Lord.
Hermoso!! Dios nace para todos, espiritual y profundamente conmovedor. Me encanta esta canción :).
Dijo "wow, Latin es fácil entender", entonces me di cuenta que es español
Should reccomend this song especially to people with depression
Just an incredible, beautiful rendition. Ita very powerful, and really evokes lots of feeling and emotion, just flawless.
Veni, Veni Emmanuel. Yes great, just great. Merry Christmas.
I already know this song by heart ❤️
I'm an atheist, and heard this tune for the first time at a Border's bookstore many years ago. I immediately turned to the counter and asked the staff what the song is, as I wanted to buy the CD (yes, those were the days). But there was already another lady with the same question, and before we could be help, a second lady stopped by with the same question!
One thing I especially appreciate about the original Latin text is that in the stanza about Moses & Israel @ Sinai it actually uses the name "Adonai" for God.
+Brian Rackley I am familiar w/ that, thank you. Still, it is especially fitting to reference "Adonai" in the context of a passage about the giving of the law @ Sinai.
I heard them sing "Come Oh Come Emmanuel" for the 1st time this year, today @ Mass.
Beautiful! The more I listen to it in my class, more I love it!
@ bhunjan i find this to be, in my opinion, one of the most humble and thoughtful of all of the advent hymns out there i personally enjoy this hymn very much thank you
Thank you so much for the translation and the beautiful pictures! :) Merry Christmas!
very nice this song! Glorified be the Lord's name!
I wish I could like this a million times. Beautiful.
Absolutely sublime.
Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year 2023.
Beautiful
Emmanuel K. Michael Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this, it's absolutely beautiful!
My daughter and I enjoy singing along, as she knows Latin and I know English!
I'm delighted you and your daughter are enjoying it together. Merry Christmas :)

Thank yo Hayley for uploading this video I can do some learning before this years Christmas celebration ,also your rendition is the most teachable for me I have not been able to find anything close , just singing the whole whole version in Latin plus English , thanks again, blessings Linda
One word: GORGEOUS!!!
The perfect 2020 hymn for Advent. Come Emmanuel, come!
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee oh Israel!

I was 120 miles north of the arctic circle in Norway and saw many nights like those pictured. Beautiful.
Just stunning cover.
This is wonderful to hear in Latin and such a beautiful version. Thank you
Beautiful song for Christmas.
