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
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou wisdom from on high
Who orders all things, far and nigh
To us the path of knowledge show
And teach a sinner ways to go
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Rejoice
Again, I say, rejoice
For unto us is born
The Savior of the world
Take heart
Oh weary soul, take heart
For help is on its way
And Holy is His name
Rejoice
Again, I say, rejoice
For unto us is born
The Savior of the world
Take heart
Oh weary soul, take heart
For help is on its way
And Holy is His name
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Rejoice
Again, I say, rejoice
For unto us is born
The Savior of the world
Take heart
Oh weary soul, take heart
For help is on its way
And Holy is His name
Holy is His name
