1 O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here,
Until the Son of God appear.
Chorus:
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to Thee, O Israel
2 O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thy coming here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
3 O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
make safe the way that leads on high,
And show the path that brings us night.
