Lyrics

1. O come, O come, Emmanuel, And ransom captive Israel , That mourns in lonely exile here, Until the Son of God appear.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. O come, Desire of nations, bind All peoples in one heart and mind. Bid envy, strife, and quarrels cease; Fill the whole world with heaven's peace.
Refrain Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
