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, O come, great Lord of might |
|
Who to thy tribes on Sinai's height |
|
In ancient times once gave the law |
|
In cloud and majesty and awe |
|
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, 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 |
