O Come Emmanuel

O come, o come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the son of god appear

O come, o come, great lord of might
Who to thy tribes on sinai's height
In ancient times once gave the law
In cloud and majesty and awe

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 victory over the grave

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
