O Come, O Come, Emmanuel Lyrics

O come, O come, Emmanuel

And ransom captive Israel

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the Son of God appear.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to you, O Israel

O come, O Wisdom from on high

Embracing all things far and nigh

In strength and beauty come and stay

Teach us your will and guide our way

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to you, O Israel

O come, O come, O Lord of might

As to your tribes on Sinai's height

In ancient times you gave the law

In cloud, and majesty, and awe

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to you, O Israel

O come, O Branch of Jesse, free

Your own from Satan's tyranny

From depths of hell your people save

And give them vict'ry o'er the grave

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to you, O Israel

O come, O 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

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to you, O Israel

O come, O Dayspring, come and cheer

O Sun of justice, now draw near

Disperse the gloomy clouds of night

And death's dark shadow put to flight

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to you, O Israel

O come, O King of Nations, come

O Cornerstone that binds in one

Refresh the hearts that long for you

Restore the broken, make us new

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to you, O Israel

O come, O come, Emmanuel

And ransom captive Israel

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the Son of God appear

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to you, O Israel
