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 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 3
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.
VERSE 4
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 5
O come, O come, thou Lord of might
Who to thy tribes on Sinai's height
In ancient time didst give the law
In cloud and majesty and awe.
