Lyrics Mvmt I: "Rejoice! Rejoice!" - The Oh Hellos

Mvmt I: "Rejoice! Rejoice!"

O come, o come Emmanuel
and ransom captive Israel
who mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear
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
Rejoice!
Rejoice!
Emmanuel
shall come to thee, o Israel
Rejoice!
Rejoice!
Emmanuel
shall come to thee, o Israel
By, by, lully, lullay
lullay, Thou little tiny child
by, by, lully lullay
Herod the king, in his raging
charged he hath this day
his men of might, in his own sight
all children young to slay
(hark! the herald angels sing:
glory to the newborn King!
peace on earth, and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
joyful all ye nations rise!
join the triumph of the skies!
with angelic hosts proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
hark!
the herald angels sing:
glory to the newborn King!)
