O come O come Emanuel

O come o come Emanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here,
Until the son of God appear,
Rejoice, Rejoice,
Emanuel shall come to thee o Israel.

O come thou wisdom from on high,
Who orderest all things mightily,
To us the path of knowledge show,
And teach us in her ways to go,
Rejoice, Rejoice,
Emanuel shall come to thee o Israel.

O come o come thou lord of might,
Who to the tribes of Sinai’s height,
In ancient times once gave the law,
In cloud and Majesty and Awe,
Rejoice, Rejoice,
Emanuel 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 victory over the grave,
Rejoice, Rejoice,
Emanuel shall come to thee o Israel.

O come thou key of David, come,
And open wide our Heavenly home,
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery,
Rejoice, Rejoice,
Emanuel shall come to thee o Israel.

O come thou dayspring come and cheer,
Our spirits by Thine advent here,
Diperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death’s dark shadows put to flight,
Rejoice, Rejoice,
Emanuel shall come to thee o Israel.

O come desire of Nations, bind,
In one the hearts of all mankind,
Bid thou our sad divisions cease,
And be thyself our King of peace.
Rejoice, Rejoice,
Emanuel shall come to thee o Israel
