Lyrics of Veni, Veni Emmanuel - Libera, Robert Prizeman

Veni, Veni Emmanuel (original)

Veni, veni Emmanuel!
Captivum solve Israel
Qui gemit in exsilio
Privatus Dei Filio
Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.
Veni, O Sapientia
Quae hic disponis omnia
Veni, viam prudentiae
Ut doceas et gloriae
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
English Translation of Latin Lyrics:
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Come, O Come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile
Son of God
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
He was born for you, Israel.
O come, Thou Wisdom
Who orders all things
I have come to the path of knowledge
Instruction and glory

Loose Israel prisoner
Who groans in exile
Private to the Son of God
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
He will be born for you, Israel.
Come, O Wisdom

Oh watch, oh come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel

Rejoice!
Rejoice!

Shall come to thee
