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
O come Thou Wisdom from on high
Who orderest all things mightily
To us the path of knowledge show
And teach us in her ways to go
O come thou rod of Jesse free
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny
From depths of hell Thy people save
And give them victory o’er the grave
O come thou Day-spring come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine Advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadows put to flight
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
O come O come Thou Lord of Might
Who to Thy tribes on Sinai’s height
In ancient times didst give the law
In cloud and majesty and awe
O come Thou Root of Jesse’s tree
An ensign of Thy people be
Before Thee rulers silent fall
All peoples on Thy mercy call
O come Desire of nations bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease
And be Thyself our King of Peace
