Couplet 1

O Come O Come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse free
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny
From depths of hell Thy people save
And give them victory o’er the grave

Rejoice Rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel

Couplet 3

O come, Thou Dayspring, from on high
And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadows put to flight

Rejoice Rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel

Couplet 4

O come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heav’nly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.

Rejoice Rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel

Couplet 5

O come, Adonai, Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai’s height
In ancient times didst give the law
In cloud and majesty and awe

Rejoice Rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel
