'''J. M. Neale, 1851'''
Draw nigh, draw nigh, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here,
Until the Son of God appear;
:''Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
:''Shall be born for thee, O Israel!

Draw nigh, O Jesse's Rod, draw nigh,
To free us from the enemy;
From Hell's infernal pit to save,
And give us victory o'er the grave.
Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall be born, for thee, O Israel!

Draw nigh, Thou Orient, Who shalt cheer
And comfort by Thine Advent here,
And banish far the brooding gloom
Of sinful night and endless doom.
:''Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
:''Shall be born for thee, O Israel!

Draw nigh, draw nigh, O David's Key,
The Heavenly Gate will ope to Thee ;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
:''Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
:''Shall be born for thee, O Israel!

Draw nigh, draw nigh, O Lord of Might,
Who to Thy tribes from Sinai's height
In ancient time didst give the Law,
In cloud and majesty and awe.
:''Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
:''Shall be born for thee, O Israel!}}

'''Hymns Ancient and Modern''' (1861)
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 Dayspring, from on high,
And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh;
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 heav'nly 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, Adonai, Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
In ancient times didst give the law
In cloud and majesty and awe.
:''Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
:''Shall come to thee, O Israel.}}

O come, Thou Wisdom from on high,
And order all things, far and nigh;
To us the path of knowledge show,
And cause us in her ways to go.

O come, Desire of nations, bind
All peoples in one heart and mind;
Bid envy, strife and quarrels cease;
Fill the whole world with heaven’s peace.

Veni, O Sapientia,
Quae hic disponis omnia,
Veni, viam prudentiae
Ut doceas et gloriae.

Veni, Veni, Rex Gentium,
Veni, Redemptor omnium,
Ut salves tuos famulos
Peccati sibi conscios.}}

1. Ak, nāc, ak, nāc, Emanuel,
lai brīvs ir atkal Izraels,
kas svešniecības gūstā smok,
līdz Dieva Dēls to atbrīvo.
Prieks tev! Prieks tev!
Ak, Izrael, pie tevis nāk Emanuels!

2. Ak, nāc, Tu Dieva Gudrība,
kas visu māca pilnībā,
lai ejam ceļu pareizo,
mums taku rādi zinībā.
Prieks tev! Prieks tev!
Ak, Izrael, pie tevis nāk Emanuels!

3. Ak, nāc, Tu avots spirdzinošs,
un veldzē slāpes cilvēkos,
lai drūmā tumsa izbeidzas
un nāvei nav vairs uzvaras.
Prieks tev! Prieks tev!
Ak, Izrael, pie tevis nāk Emanuels!

4. Ak, nāc, Tu tautu cerība
un ilgošanās vienība,
Tu, ļaunā važas sarāvis,
mums būsi Miera Karalis!
Prieks tev! Prieks tev!
Ak, Izrael, pie tevis nāk Emanuels!}}
