Lyrics
O come, O come, Emmanuel and ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear.
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.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to Thee, O Israel!
O come, O Bright and Morning Star, and bring us comfort from afar!
Dispel the shadows of the night and turn our darkness into light.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to Thee, O Israel!
God with us, Emmanuel.
