O Come, O Come Emmanuel

O come, O come, Emmanuel
 And ransom captive Israel
 That mourns in lonely exile here
 Until the Son of God appear
 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 o'er the grave
 Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
 Shall come to thee, O Israel. 

O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
 Our spirits by Thine advent here
 Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
 And death's dark shadows put to flight.
 Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
 Shall come to thee, O Israel. 

O come, Thou Key of David, come,
 And open wide our heavenly home;
 Make safe the way that leads on high,
 And close the path to misery.
 Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
 Shall come to thee, O Israel. 

O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,
 Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
 In ancient times did'st give the Law,
 In cloud, and majesty and awe.
 Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
 Shall come to thee, O Israel.
