Lyrics O Come O Come Emmanuel - Citizens

O Come O Come Emmanuel

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, 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, Desire of nations, bind
All peoples in one heart and mind;
Bid envy, strife and discord cease
Fill the whole earth with Heaven’s peace
Rejoice!
Rejoice!
Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Rejoice!
Rejoice!
Emmanuel
Has come to thee
