O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

[Traditional]

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;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night;
And death’s dark shadows put to flight;
Rejoice, rejoice;
Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, o Israel.

[Interlude]

 
O come, desire of nations, bind
All peoples in one heart and mind;
Bid thou our sad divisions cease;
And be thyself our Prince of Peace;
Rejoice, rejoice;
Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, o Israel.

Rejoice, rejoice;

Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, o Israel.

Come to thee, o Israel.
