John Mason Neale (1818-1866) was a minister in the Church of England. Caught up in the Oxford Movement, he became
interested in the original languages–specifically, Greek and Latin–that had cradled the early liturgies of the Church. He became a renowned translator of ancient hymns–among them, "Good Christian Men, Rejoice," "All Glory, Laud, and Honor," "Of the Father’s Love Begotten," and "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel." After translating the Latin text "Veni Emmanuel" in 1851, he added the refrain that we know today. Some versions of the text contain portions of a 1916 translation by Henry Sloan Coffin.
