O come, o come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Chorus: Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you o Israel
O come, our wisdom from on high
Who ordered all things mightily.
To us the path of knowledge show
And teach us in her ways to go
O come, the Branch of Jesse's Tree
Free them from Satan's tyranny
That trust your might pow'r to save
And give them vict'ry o'er the grave
O come, o Key of David, come
And open wide our heav'nly home.
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery
O come, desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind.
O bid our sad divisions cease
And be yourself our King of Peace!
