1. O COME, O COME, EMMANUEL

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel

O come, O Wisdom from on high
Who ordered all things mightily
To us the path of knowledge show
And teach us in its ways to go

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel

O come, O come, great Lord of might
Who to your tribes on Sinai's height
In ancient times did give the law
In cloud and majesty and awe

O come, O Branch of Jesse's stem
Unto your own and rescue them
From depths of hell your people save
And give them victory o'er the grave

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel

O come, O Key of David, come
And open wide our heavenly home
Make safe for us the heavenward road
And bar the way to death's abode

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 you, O Israel

O come, O King of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
Bid all our sad divisions cease
And be yourself our King of Peace

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel
