Lyrics
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.
[Stanza 2]
O come, thou Wisdom from on high,
And order all things far and nigh;
To us the path of knowledge show
And cause us in her ways to go.
[Refrain]
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
[Stanza 3]
O come, O come, great Lord of might,
Who to thy tribes on Sinai’s height
In ancient times once gave the law
In cloud and majesty and awe.
[Refrain]
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, thou Root of Jesse’s tree,
An ensign of thy people be;
Before thee rulers silent fall;
All peoples of thy mercy call.
[Refrain]
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
[Stanza 5]
O come, thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home.
The captives from their prison free,
And conquer death’s deep misery.
[Refrain]
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
[Stanza 6]
O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by thy justice here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death’s dark shadows put to flight.
[Refrain]
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
