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. |
