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 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! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Desire of nations, bind
All peoples in one heart and mind
Bid env'ry, strife, and quarrels cease
Fill all the world with Heaven's peace
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, O come, Emmanuel
O come, O come, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
