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 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.
