O come, O come, Emmanuel

 


O come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel,
that mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear.


Refrain:
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.


O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer thy people with thine advent here;
disperse the gloomy clouds of night, and death’s dark shadows put to flight.


O come, thou Rod of Jesse, free thine own from Satan’s tyranny;
from depths of hell thy people save, and give them victory over the grave.
