O COME, O COME, EMMANUEL
1. O come, O come,
Emmanuel,
And ransom captive
Israel,
That mourns in
lonely exile her
Until the Son of
God appear.
Refrain
Rejoice! rejoice!
Emmanuel
Shall come to thee,
O Israel!
2. O come, Thou Rod
of Jesse, free
Thine own from
Satan's tyranny;
From depths of hell
Thy people save
And give them
vict'ry o'er the grave.
3. O come, Thou
Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by
Thine advent here;
And drive away the
shades of night,
And pierce the
clouds and bring us light!
4. O come, Thou 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.
