O come, O come, Emmanuel, | |||
And ransom captive Israel, | |||
That mourns in lonely exile here | |||
Until the Son of God appear. | |||
''Refrain:'' | |||
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 over the grave. | |||
''Refrain'' | |||
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. | |||
''Refrain'' | |||
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. | |||
''Refrain'' | |||
O come, O come, Thou Lord of might! | |||
Who to Thy tribes on Sinai’s height | |||
In ancient times didst give the law | |||
In cloud and majesty and awe. | |||
''Refrain'' | |||
Amen. | |||

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 over the grave.
Refrain
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.

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.
Refrain
O come, O come, Thou Lord of might!
Who to Thy tribes on Sinai’s height
In ancient times didst give the law
In cloud and majesty and awe.

Amen.
