''(order of later verses varies)''
<poem>
::''1.''
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.
::''2.''
O come, thou wisdom from on high,
who ord'rest all things mightily;
to us the path of knowledge show,
and teach us in her ways to go.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
::''3.''
O come, thou branch of Jesse's tree,
free them from Satan's tyranny
that trust thy mighty power to save,
and give them vict'ry o'er the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
''( Alt: O come, thou branch of Jesse's stem,
from every foe deliver them
that trust ... )''
::''4.''
O come, thou Dayspring from on high,
and cheer us by thy drawing nigh;
disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
and death's dark shadow put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
::''5.''
O come, Desire of nations, bind
in one the hearts of all mankind;
''(alt: ...of humankind)''
bid thou our sad division cease,
and be theyself our King of Peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
::''6.''
O come, o come great 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.
::''7.''
O come, O Key of David, come
and open wide our heavenly home;
make safe the way that leads on high,
''(alt: ...sets us free,)''
and close the path to misery.

Veni, veni, Emmanuel
captivum solve Israel,
qui gemit in exsilio,
privatus Dei Filio.
:R: Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel,
:nascetur pro te Israel!
 
Veni, O Iesse virgula,
ex hostis tuos ungula,
de spectu tuos tartari
educ et antro barathri.
 
Veni, veni O Oriens,
solare nos adveniens,
noctis depelle nebulas,
dirasque mortis tenebras.
 
Veni, Clavis Davidica,
regna reclude caelica,
fac iter tutum superum,
et claude vias inferum.
 
Veni, veni, Adonai,
qui populo in Sinai
legem dedisti vertice
in maiestate gloriae.
