O come, O come, Emmanuel.
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Refrain
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou rod of Jesse's stem,
From ev'ry foe deliver them.
From death and sin Thy people save,
And give them vict'ry o'er the grave.
Refrain
O come, Thou 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.
Refrain
O come, Desire of Nations, bind
In one the hearts of humankind:
Bid ev'ry sad division cease
And be Thyself our Prince of Peace.
Refrain
O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
Disperse the gloomy couds of night
And death's dark shadow put to flight.
