O come, O come, Emmanuel
Redeem thy captive Israel
That into exile drear is gone
Far from the face of God's dear Son
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, thou Wisdom from on high
Who madest all in earth and sky
Creating man from dust and clay
To us reveal salvation’s way
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
2
O come, O come, Adonai
Who in thy glorious majesty
From Sinai's mountain, clothed in awe
Gavest thy folk the ancient Law
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
3
O come, thou Root of Jesse, draw
The quarry from the lion's claw
From those dread caverns of the grave
From nether hell, thy people save
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
4
O Come, thou Lord of David’s Key
The royal door fling wide and free
Safeguard for us the heavenward road
And bar the way to death's abode
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
5
O come, O come, thou Dayspring bright
Pour on our souls thy healing light
Dispel the long night's lingering gloom
And pierce the shadows of the tomb
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
6
O Come, Desire of Nations! Show
Thy kingly reign on earth below
Thou Corner-stone, uniting all
Restore the ruin of our fall
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
