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 orderest all things mightily,
To us the path of knowledge show,
And teach us in her ways to go.
VERSE 3
O Come Thou Rod of Jesse free,
Thine own from Satan's tyranny,
From depth of hell Thy people save,
And give them vict'ry o'er the grave.
VERSE 4
O Come Thou Dayspring, Come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here,
Disperse the gloomy cloud of night,
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
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.
