O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

Public domain

O come, O come, Emmanuel
Redeem thy captive Israel
That into exile drear is gone
Far from the face of God’s dear Son

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, O come, thou Dayspring bright
Pour on our souls thy healing light
Dispel the long night’s lingering gloom
And pierce the shadows of the tomb

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, thou Lord of David’s Key
The royal door fling wide and free
Safeguard for us the heavenward road
And bar the way to death’s abode

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
