Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
O Come, O Come Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the son of God appear.
REFRAIN
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall Come to thee, O Israel.
VERSE 2
O Come, Thou wisdom from on high,
Who ord'rest all things mightily
To us the path of knowledge show,
And teach us in her ways to go.
VERSE 3
O Come, O Come, Thou Lord of might,
Who to thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
In ancient times didst give the law,
In cloud, and majesty and awe.
VERSE 4
O Come, Thou Rod of Jesse free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny;
From depths of hell Thy people save,
And give them Vict'ry O'er the grave.
VERSE 5
O Come, Thou 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.
VERSE 6
O Come, Thou Dayspring, Come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And deaths dark shadows put to flight.
VERSE 7
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.
