1. Oh, come, Oh, come, Emmanuel, 3. Oh, come, O Dayspring from on high,

And ransom captive Israel And cheer us by your drawing nigh;

That mourns in lonely exile here Disperse the gloomy clouds of night

Until the Son of God appear. And death's dark shadows put to flight.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to you, O Israel. Shall come to you, O Israel.

2. Oh, come, O Root of Jesse, free 4. Oh, come, O Key of David, come

Your own from Satan's tyranny; And open wide our heavenly home:

From depths of hell your people save Make safe the way that leads on high

And bring them victory o'er the grave. And close the path to misery.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to you, O Israel. Shall come to you, O Israel.
