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 dayspring, Come and cheer our spirits by thy 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.
3. O come, desire of nations, bind all peoples in one heart and mind; Bid envy, strife, and discord cease, Fill the whole earth with Heaven’s peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee O Israel. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel. Has come to thee, O Israel.
