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! Emanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!

O 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! Emanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!

O come, Desire of nations, bind
All peoples in one heart and mind;
Bid envy, strife, and quarrels cease;
Fill the whole world with heaven's peace

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!

O 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! Emanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!

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! Emanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!

O come, thou Root of Jesse's tree
An ensign of thy people be;
Before thee rulers silent fall;
All peoples on thy mercy call

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
