O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the son of God appears
Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From depths of hell Thy people save
And give them victory over the grave
Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
O come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease,
And be Thyself our king of peace
Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
So Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanuel
Has come to thee, O Israel!
Has come to thee, O Israel!
Israel!
