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 |
