Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel
Oh come, Oh 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, Oh Israel.
Oh come, Oh come, Thou Lord of Might ,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
In ancient times didst give the law,
In cloud, and majesty, and awe.
Rejoice, rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, Oh Israel.
Oh come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny;
From depths of hell Thy people save
And give them victory o'er the grave.
Rejoice, rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, Oh Israel.
Oh come, Thou Dayspring, 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.
Oh 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 Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, Oh Israel.
Oh come, Thou Wisdom from on high,
And order all things, far and nigh;
To us the path of knowledge show,
And cause us in her ways to go.
Rejoice, rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, Oh Israel.
Oh 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 Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, Oh Israel.
