Oh Come, O Come, Emanuel |
| Oh, come, oh, come, Emmanuel |
| And ransom captive Israel |
| That mourns in lonely exile here |
| Until the Son of God appear |
| Rejoice! |
| Rejoice! |
| Emmanuel |
| Shall come to you, O Israel! |
| Oh, come, our Wisdom from on high |
| Who ordered all things mightily |
| To us the path of knowledge show |
| And teach us in her ways to go |
| Rejoice! |
| Rejoice! |
| Emmanuel |
| Shall come to you, O Israel! |
| Oh, come, oh, come, our Lord of might |
| Who to your tribes on Sinai’s height |
| In ancient times gave holy law |
| In cloud and majesty and awe |
| Rejoice! |
| Rejoice! |
| Emmanuel |
| Shall come to you, O Israel! |
| Oh, come O Rod of Jesse’s stem |
| From ev’ry foe deliver them |
| That trust your mighty pow’are to save |
| Bring them in vict’ry through the grave |
| Rejoice! |
| Rejoice! |
| Emmanuel |
| Shall come to you, O Israel! |
| Oh, come, O 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 you, O Israel! |
| Oh, come, our Dayspring from on high |
| And cheer us by your drawing nigh |
| Disperse the gloomy clouds of night |
| And death’s dark shadows put to flight |
| Rejoice! |
| Rejoice! |
| Emmanuel |
| Shall come to you, O Israel! |
| Oh, come, Desire of nations, bind |
| In one the hearts of all mankind |
| Oh, bid our sad divisions cease |
| And be yourself our King of Peace |
| Rejoice! |
| Rejoice! |
| Emmanuel |
| Shall come to you, O Israel! |
