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 thee, O Israel.

Our spirits by Thine 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.

O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

until the Son of God appear.

Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
Verse 2
O come, thou Rod of Jesse, free
thine own from Satan’s tyranny;
from depths of hell thy people save,
and give them victory over the grave.

Oh, come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
Oh, drive away the shades of night,
And pierce the clouds, and bring us light,
Verse 4
Oh, come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heav’nly home;
Where are thy Saint’s with thee shall dwell,
Oh Come, Oh Come, Emmanuel,
