O Come, O Come, Emmanuel Lyrics

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 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

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, Desire of nations, bind

all peoples in one heart and mind

Bid envy, strife and quarrels cease

Fill all the world with heaven's peace

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel
