Veni, Veni Emmanuel!
|
Captivum solve Israel!
|
Qui gemit in exsilio,
|
Privatus Dei Filio.
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
|
Nascetur pro te, Israel.
|
|
Veni, O Jesse virgula,
|
Ex hostis tuos ungula,
|
De specu tuos tartari
|
Educ et antro barathri.
|
|
[Refrain]
|
|
Veni, Veni O Oriens!
|
Solare nos adveniens,
|
Noctis depelle nebulas,
|
Dirasque noctis tenebras.
|
|
[Refrain]
|
|
Veni, Clavis Davidica,
|
Regna reclude caelica,
|
Fac iter tutum superum,
|
Et claude vias inferum.
|
|
[Refrain]
|
|
Veni, Veni Adonai!
|
Qui populo in Sinai
|
Legem dedisti vertice,
|
In Majestate gloriae.
|
|
[Refrain]
|
|
Veni, O Sapientia,
|
Quae hic disponis omnia,
|
Veni, viam prudentiae
|
Ut doceas et gloriae.
|
|
[Refrain]
|
|
Veni, Veni, Rex gentium,
|
Veni, Redemptor omnium,
|
Ut salvas tuos famulos
|
Peccati sibi conscios.
|
|
[Refrain]
|
|
|
[Translation:]
|
|
O come, O come, Emmanuel,
|
And ransom captive Israel,
|
That mourns in lonely exile here
|
Until the Son of God appear.
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
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 over the grave.
|
|
[Refrain]
|
|
O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer
|
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
|
And drive away the shades of night
|
And pierce the clouds and bring us light!
|
|
[Refrain]
|
|
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.
|
|
[Refrain]
|
|
O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,
|
Who to Thy tribes on Sinai's height
|
In ancient times once gave the law
|
In cloud, and majesty, and awe.
|
|
[Refrain]
