Veni Veni (O Come O Come Emanuel) (original)

Veni, veni Emmanuel;
Captivum solve Israel,
Qui gemit in exilio,
Privatus Dei Filio
Gaude!
Gaude!
Emmanuel,
Nascetur pro te, Israel!
Veni, veni, O Oriens;
Solare nos adveniens,
Noctis depelle nebulas,
Dirasque noctis tenebras.
Gaude!
Gaude!
Emmanuel,
Nascetur pro te, Israel!
Veni, Clavis Davidica!
Regna reclude caelica;
Fac iter tutum superum,
Et claude vias inferum.
Gaude!
Gaude!
Emmanuel,
Nascetur pro te, Israel!
Veni, veni Adonai!
Qui populo in Sinai,
Legem dedisti vertice,
In maiestate gloriae.
Gaude!
Gaude!
Emmanuel,
Nascetur pro te, Israel!

(translation)

Come, come, Emmanuel;
Loose Israel prisoner
He groans in exile
Private to the Son of God
Rejoice!
Rejoice!
Emmanuel
He will be born for you, Israel!
Come, come, O East
Come and cheer us up
Drive away the clouds of the night
The gloomy darkness of the night.
Rejoice!
Rejoice!
Emmanuel
He will be born for you, Israel!
Come, David's Key!
Open the kingdoms of heaven;
Make the scene safe
And shut up the ways of hell.
Rejoice!
Rejoice!
Emmanuel
He will be born for you, Israel!
Come, come, Adonai!
Who are the people inSinai
You gave the law
In the majesty of glory
Rejoice!
Rejoice!
Emmanuel
He will be born for you, Israel!
