O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
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! Emanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
Rejoice! Emanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
O come, Desire of nations, bind
All people in one heart and mind;
Bid envy, strife, and quarrels cease;
Fill the whole world with heaven's peace
Rejoice! Emanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
Rejoice! Emanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
