Isaiah 36 is actually about the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem during King Hezekiah's reign - it's a historical narrative about military threat and political crisis, not a messianic prophecy or passage typically associated with Advent or Christ's birth.
This appears to be a mismatch. There's no clear thematic or theological connection between this Advent hymn celebrating Jesus's birth as Emmanuel and Isaiah 36's account of the Assyrian invasion.
However, if I must provide an explanation, the only possible connection might be:
This hymn's reference to Emmanuel coming to those in sorrow and fear echoes the crisis context of Isaiah 36's siege narrative. | | | Advent; Jesus Christ Advent; Jesus Christ Birth and Infancy; Year A Advent 3 | | REJOICE, REJOICE | | | | 1 | 1 | | 18 | 0 | 1086927 | 1 |
