O come, O come, Emmanuel
|
And ransom captive Israel
|
That mourns in lonely exile here
|
Until the Son of God appear
|
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
|
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
|
|
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
|
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
|
From depths of Hell Thy people save
|
And give them victory o'er the grave
|
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
|
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
|
|
O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
|
Our spirits by Thine advent here
|
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
|
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
|
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
|
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
|
|
O come, Thou Key of David, come,
|
And open wide our heavenly home;
|
Make safe the way that leads on high,
|
And close the path to misery.
|
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
|
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
|
|
O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,
|
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
|
In ancient times did'st give the Law,
|
In cloud, and majesty and awe.
|
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
|
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
