Lyrics

O come, O come, Immanuel,
and ransom captive Israel,
that mourns in lonely exile here,
until the Son of God appear.

  Rejoice! Rejoice!
  Immanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, O come, thou God of law,
in cloud and majesty and awe.
Thy precepts, taught on Sinai's height,
call us to lives both just and right.

  Rejoice! Rejoice!
  Immanuel 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 vict'ry o'er the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Immanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer
our spirits by thine advent here.
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
and death's dark shadow put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Immanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, thou Key of David come
and open wide our heav'nly home.
Make safe the way that leads to thee
and close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Immanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

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 thy ways to go.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Immanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Desire of nations, bind
all peoples in one heart and mind.
Bid envy, strife and quarrels cease,
and fill the world with heaven's peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Immanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
