Bad Religion - O Come, O Come, Emmanuel Lyrics

God bless Bad Religion!

🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

My favourite Christmas Song ...
not this specific version of course but even as a kid it moved me
Good version though

This is so ironical,band is called Bas religion but plays christmas songs😂😂anyway songs are fire maaan🔥🔥

Way surprised how respectful and well done this is done.

Christ rises with a punk like mowhak

there are black metal bands that might try all their lives and never write lyrics as hard as verse two.

Im gonna listen to it a bunch more times!!!!!

Wow this freaking jams!!!

As one who is more of a "Pagan" using this song to show respect to the Christian God on a Sunday morn in January I gotta say Bad Religion is musical euphoria.

I meant "I think" not "if you think" lol.

If you think about it Jesus was pretty "punk" and wholly against the grain to quote Bad Religion. Whether Son of God or just of Man he was a badass IMO... also historians are pretty positive that he did exist.

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, O come, Thou Lord of might
Who to…

This great

Good song!

It's funny how I praise God to Bad Religion while listening to this album. I love it. It's been constantly my favorite Christmas album since it's release.

I don't think BR has ever been against Christianity only the negative things that can come from organized religions. I bet they may even respect true sincere Christians. After all true Christians really are "against the grain. "

Love that beginning solo

This is what Christian rock wishes it could be.

No Wish Just One of Many

This comes across as a legitimate (if sarcastic) Bad Religion song. It is so worthy of foot-tapping that I would put it in their top 20. The guitars and vocals are perfect.

A música mais legal do álbum

FOR A CALVINIST AND FORMER-FAN OF BAD RELIGION LIKE ME THAT IS QUITE NORMAL. GOD DECREED THE WHOLE GOOD AND ALL BADLY AND BAD RELIGION KNOWS THERE IN THE BOTTOM THAT ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE GOD DECREED HIS/HER EXISTENCE. THAT IS TRUE ATOMIC GARDEN!

does this count as Christian Rock? 🤔🤔🤔

It's weird that it takes a rock band to expose some badass lyrics that the song has. Christmas songs are not the lyrics are awesome in this song!

Surprised but very happy they did a Christmas album! Any chance of a punk rock Chanukah album lol :)

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, O come, Thou Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
In ancient times did'st give the Law,
In cloud, and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

Supposedly, 20% of the proceeds from the Christmas Songs album are going to SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) Worthy cause. Great songs too!

Oh, snap!

praise him!

AMEN!!!!!

Was positive this was gonna be some smart criticism satire based on classic Christmas songs, but it's a 100% original and serious cover? Very good, I'll have to bust this back out when December comes around

alex fletcher Now is the time Bruh ;)

It is time. Rise!

Man i just found out about brooks. bummer, i loved his style so much.

befuckingutiful. and it was my son that put me on to this. There is hope yet :-)

I am a 63 year old woman who now has this as her all time favourite Christmas song.  Brilliant.

I wish you could be my aunt, that rocks x)

Bad Religion rocks this song. I'm surprised they are singing a Christmas song though. Anyways, I love it. Good job Bad Religion.

TheHenok30 did you think because they are a punk group that something serious couldn't come?

@Teri Reeves - no. I made that remark b/c the name of their band is "bad religion," which is their statement that Christianity is a bad religion. That message is also portrayed on Bad Religons t-shirts, album covers etc by their logo of a cross slashed out with a circle around it. Now Bad Religion is singing Christian carols which puts out a different message than they had put out. It seems contradictory. Do they no longer see Christianity as a bad religion?

I don't know why they did covers of these songs, but I think it's because they just happened to like seasonal holiday songs and they wanted to use it as creative inspiration for money

@IceCoLDMK - Perhaps, but I think it's also possible that the band members secretly have some belief in the Bible & hence decided to sing Christmas songs for charity. Bad Religion may have been pissed off at Christianity b/c of all the hypocrisy, contradictions & oppression. Thus their band name would be a statement of that.

I am also a little confused but very happy about it lol. Maybe they just love the Christmas season and music and wanted to add a slight punk twist to the tone.

It's 2015, & this song still rocks. \M/(>_<) 🎄⛄ Merry punk rock Christmas everyone!! ❄🎅🎁

Christmas '77!

can i get explaniotion about that song?
i am not christian.

It's about the birth of Jesus

They made a Christmas album. And its not satirical. I must process this.

+SteezeeFTW I remember when I found that out when it was released I laughed and was so happy haha.

+Joe Chitussi haha same

I think it's very mature that they made this and i'm sure they have a sarcasm to it, but they're too damn smart to make any mention of it at all. This is brilliant. You can't deny some of the songs they picked, the old christmas standards.. are actually good songs too.. It's tough to hear them in the old way they were played, but modernized.. the chord structures are complex and pretty wild.

@Christopher Wrigley
Oh, of course. I don't mind the traditional style, though. I especially like the ones in Latin. I just friggin love that language.

Christopher great post!

This is a legitimate rendition and it's no surprise; God is sovereign, "You are the Eternal One - the GREAT I AM."

Is it wrong that as an atheist I love this song?

+Nate Monahan No!

I'm atheist and love Christmas, but last year and the next 5 years will be Star Wars holiday season, so Christmas can step aside for now.

"Atheism is the disease of belief in God, belief that God does not intervene in the world." Jacques Lacan...maybe that's why...and for the "no more catholics", they usually become...fascists. Dig. Your. Knowledge.

Nate Monahan fuck no!

Nate Monahan I’m not atheist, but I’m certainly not Christian! I call myself an omniuniversalistic bhuddist 😁😁 and I still love it dearly! Bad Religion can’t put out bad shit

always had the feeling br's atheist (or whatever) schtick has always been a troll.  but then again probably so is this. lolz.

This one's the troll

just this one?

From what I understand they did this for charity, which makes sense and would be the only way I could see Greg singing about god.

Or perhaps they're non-believers who are secure in their lack-of-faith 

@Brett Gurewitz do you have any live daredevils footage? pleeeeease

Fucking amazing, guys.

This one is my favorite in this release.

Absolutely masterpiece Thank you guys !

This is my comment.

Awesome

In cloud and majesty and awe!

Not to take anything away from the rest of the album, as it's all very good, but this is by far the best song on this album, IMO

Man this song is BAD-ASS!!!

Love it. Great version. Love theses guys.

Amazing song

Soooooooooooooo good.

good luck performing this on Conan lml

Blyth Power cover...

Well... that fucking kicked ass!

My favorite from the album.

My favorite of Christmas Songs

It's my favorite too. I listen to this album every Christmas.

In ancient times did'st give the Law. In cloud, and majesty and awe!

de  perro ctm 

 aguante BAD RELIGION

This is one of the songs to be examined in my singing exam...this version boosts my confidence :D

It is so funny to hear these words out of Greg's  mouth. As a christian Bad Religion Fan (yes, that is possible) I can finally agree 100% to the lyrics. ;)
This song is my favourite of that album.
Btw, Immanu'El is hebrew and means "GOD is with us"

Non denominational REAL Christian (not strict with it though) and huge bad religion fan as well.. In there own words themselves (even though i always knew this) "Bad Religion is in no way antichrist. Christ was probably the most progressive liberal in history, we just detest RELIGION" that's from there concert dvd....AS DO I... so i give a big fuck yeah to that one. Go spirituality, FUCK RELIGION! lol anyways This version is amazing my fav off of this album😎

Find another band silly Christian boy

Gregory Chri ahh...the spirit of punk...smh. Find another genre.

Greg's a christian too, though he has a hard time to admit it...and yes this is the best song there !

cultofmisjudgment Huh!? No he isn’t.

He doesn’t believe in a God nor was he raised in a household that pushed that belief.

Christ that's good.

Ha! Pun. 

I bought this album yesterday, it fucking rules

I concure.

Mr Brett (Greg is amazing as well, but Brett's songs have always done more for me) is a true inspiration.

Brett's music has gotten me off the brink of hanging myself, through insane amounts of bullshit, made me come to terms with the addictions and issues of family members and given me an introspective on life that I'm just plain thankful to have recieved.

You're the shit Mr. Brett, no, not just the shit, the ONLY SHIT.

still rocking and punking after 85 years!

fuck yeah!

Wow this is badass!

Госпади Иисусе Пязде! Это ж восхитительно!

Satan bless

Спаси Господи!

You and Greg man. Best songwriters there are and ever will be in my eyes.

What's wrong with The Gray Race? It's a great album.

Thank you.

I am into books becuase of your lyrics, Mr. Brett! Greetings from Mexico. You were always my hero, and still are! OK, you and William Faulkner!

All religions are so bad, of course. Personal faith in Jesus does not harm anyone. I used to be an atheist for 15 years and have been born again Lutheran Christian almost 19 years. The lyrics of Bad Religion are very smart (I have all the albums ("Suffer" is the best one though) ; even "Into The Unknown") and this new stuff is also awesome. God bless you all in Jesus´ name!

Epitaph is fine, sure i don't support all their artists either but still a well run and respectable label. and the RIAA thing is just childish on fat mikes part, its not a big deal

Man, they really "nailed" this Christmas classic...

Love the new album, preordered the vinyl package and am super excited. This is the best track!

This is a fun album.... also check out The Rev Hortonb Heat.. He did this same type of album a few years ago.

Brilliant! A must have album for Xmas BBQs.

Favorite song on the album...and it actually sounds like a song that they could write themselves :) If you just changed some lyrics perhaps, anyway its AWESOME...really good production.

Don't like BR anymore then don't listen, just stick within your own narrow definitions of what punk really is... Well done Greg, Brett and co. for weeding out the ignorant BONEHEADS with this record. Rejoice!

There is nothing as bad as religion. All religions are baaaaaaaad! If you are a sheep, you will be sheared and shackled.

you listening to the gray race pretty much sums it up.

If there is a god, he fucking loves this too!

There is, and he/she does!

Was not expecting them to play the actual song. But I like it!

Muito bom! Que venha o show no Brasil em fevereiro!

If there is a God...

There is nothing wrong with making money by any mean's, But Joining such vile disgusting Trite as the RIAA, that is unforgivable.

Thanks for all the great songs. Whether I always agree or not it always gets me thinking.

"Well, he definitely existed"

Here's a fun exercise:

Try and find a genuine (stuff has been faked) contemporary (or even close to contemporary) account of his life, or even his existence.

The silence of his contemporaries is stunning when you consider the claims Christianity makes. I'm not saying that the non-existence of evidence is *in itself* evidence of non-existence, but who the hell could really know for sure.

I love what they did with the song! I would totally buy it on iTunes but the fact that I learned this song with MY choir kind of ruined it for me..

August Burns Red does a cover of this song as well

Ever considered that the vast majority who likes BR actually are atheists or similar? :)

Pure Bad Religion Brilliance.

I had never realized how MËTÄL the lyrics to this song are. You've got your tyranny of Satan, you've got hell and graves and all kinda shit.

This sounds wicked. Good job, boys.

I'm looking forward to this release for sure!

The Horse approves! This will be the soundtrack to our Christmas!

well, they can only out so much punk substance into a song that nobody would ever have dreamed be covered the way they did at the time it was written.

Well, he definitely existed . It's the belief that he is the Son of the living God that is the subject of controversy.
