Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

You might like /s/hymns for more beautiful music like this. I'm not religious but enjoy listening to beautiful choral music. Crossposting this video to that sub would be cool if you want.
Thanks!
I'm new and retarded. How do you crosspost here?
