O Come, O Come Emmanuel

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 appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come all of the nations, him, the world awaits its ransom here.
Remove our sin and faithlessness, unite us through thy name confess.
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, Thou Rod of Jesse, free Thine own from Satan’s tyranny
From depths of Hell Thy people save, And give them vict’ry o’er the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Wisdom from on high, who ordered all things mightily;
To us the path of knowledge show, and teach us in its ways to go.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
