1 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 you, O Israel.

2 O come, O Wisdom from on high
embracing all things far and nigh:
in strength and beauty come and stay;
teach us your will and guide our way. (Refrain)

3 O come, O come, O Lord of might,
as to your tribes, on Sinai's height,
in ancient times you gave the law
in cloud and majesty and awe. (Refrain)

4 O come, O Branch of Jesse, free
your own from Satan's tyranny;
from depths of hell your people save,
and give them victory o'er the grave. (Refrain)

5 O come, O Key of David, come,
and open wide our heavenly home;
make safe the way that leads on high,
and close the path to misery. (Refrain)

6 O come, O Dayspring, come and cheer;
O Sun of justice, now draw near
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
and death's dark shadow put to flight. (Refrain)

7 O come, O King of nations, come,
O Cornerstone that binds in one:
refresh the hearts that long for you;
restore the broken, make us new. (Refrain)

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