O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

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, thou Branch of Jesse! draw

The quarry from the lion's claw;

From the dread caverns of the grave,

From nether hell, thy people save.

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.

⁠O come, O come, Adonäi,

Who in thy glorious majesty

From that high mountain clothed with awe

Gavest thy folk the elder law.

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