Rejoice, Rejoice, Immanuel
Shall come to you oh Israel
As we enter the third week in Advent we remember the JOY that Jesus brings to us both at Christmas and all year. We have complete JOY knowing that Jesus came to free us from the slavery of sin, death, and the devil. We have complete JOY knowing that we are given the gift of new life.
Rejoice, Rejoice, Immanuel
Shall come to you oh Israel
