O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

              
 
 
 
 

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

And ransom captive Israel

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the Son of God appears
 
 

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 vict'ry o'er the grave
 

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee O Israel
 
 

O come, O Dayspring, come and cheer

Our spirits by thine advent here

And drive away the shaves of night

And pierce the clouds and bring us light

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
