And now for the final installment!
O Emmanuel: “O Emmanuel, king and lawgiver, desire of the nations, Savior of all people, come and set us free, Lord our God.” Isaiah had prophesied, “The Lord himself will give you this sign: the Virgin shall be with child, and bear a son, and shall name him Emmanuel.”
O Emmanuel, to the tune of “Dust in the Wind” (with apologies to Kansas)
Emmanuel
King of kings and Lord of lords, ruler of all
Lawgiver
Desire of all the nations and of all the world
Holy child
Born in darkness, Child of the Light
Emmanuel
Saivior of all people come and set us free
Isaiah said
God will come upon you and give you a sign
Holy child
Born in darkness, Child of the Light
Emmanuel
Born of virgin, Son of God, Emmanuel
Salvation
Came to all of us from that birth long ago
Holy child
Born in darkness, Child of the Light
Holy child
Born in darkness, Child of the Light

I had the world's worst crush on Steve Walsh, Kansas' lead singer...
How did you choose the tunes, Kirk?! They are just brilliant!
I dunno...I just sort of sat down and read them aloud over and over till a tune that "fit" popped in..."lecto Top40ia????"
Oh, this is lone of my all-time favorite rock songs. I love what you did with it.
P.S. Send Boomer and Little Eddie over to my place. Smokey has a post they will enjoy.
Lectio top40ia my left foot! This is brilliance. Sheer brilliance. I think you should quick copyright them before someone steals 'em.
