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

O Come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
thine own from Satan's tyranny;
From dpeths of hell thy people save, A
nd give them victory o'er the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

O Come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer,
Our spirits by thine advent here;
O 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, Thou Key of David, come,
and open wide our heavenly home
Where all thy saints with thee shall dwell-
O come, O come Emmanuel!
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
