1 O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That lives in earthly exile here,
Until the Son of God appear.
(Refrain)
Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel,
To thee shall come Emmanuel.
2 O come, Thou Wisdom, Son divine,
Our weaken'd wills to Thee incline!
And shed Thy light o'er life's dark way,
Lest, lured by sin, we go astray.
Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel,
To thee shall come Emmanuel.
3 O come, Thou Sprout of Jesse's tree,
Free us from Satan's tyranny!
From fires of hell Thy people save,
And give us vict'ry o'er the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel,
To thee shall come Emmanuel.
4 O come, Thou King of all the earth,
That we may share Thy wondrous birth!
Come, rule our heart and mind and will,
That we Thy precepts may fulfill.
Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel,
To thee shall come Emmanuel.
And ransom captive Israel,
That lives in earthly exile here,
Until the Son of God appear.
(Refrain)
Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel,
To thee shall come Emmanuel.
2 O come, Thou Wisdom, Son divine,
Our weaken'd wills to Thee incline!
And shed Thy light o'er life's dark way,
Lest, lured by sin, we go astray.
Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel,
To thee shall come Emmanuel.
3 O come, Thou Sprout of Jesse's tree,
Free us from Satan's tyranny!
From fires of hell Thy people save,
And give us vict'ry o'er the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel,
To thee shall come Emmanuel.
4 O come, Thou King of all the earth,
That we may share Thy wondrous birth!
Come, rule our heart and mind and will,
That we Thy precepts may fulfill.
Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel,
To thee shall come Emmanuel.
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
