O, Come, O, Come Emmanuel

[Verse 1]

Oh, come, oh, come, Emmanuel

And ransom captive Israel

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the Son of God appear



[Chorus]



[Verse 2]

Oh, come, our Wisdom from on high

Who ordered all things mightily;

To us the path of knowledge show

And teach us in her ways to go



[Chorus]



[Verse 3]

Oh, come, oh, come, our Lord of might

Who to your tribes on Sinai's height

In ancient times gave holy law

In cloud and majesty and awe



[Chorus]



[Verse 4]

Oh, come O Rod of Jesse's stem

From ev'ry foe deliver them

That trust your mighty pow'r to save;

Bring them in vict'ry through the grave



[Chorus]



[Verse 5]

Oh, come, O 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



[Chorus]



[Verse 6]

Oh, come, our Dayspring from on high

And cheer us by your drawing nigh

Disperse the gloomy clouds of night

And death's dark shadows put to flight



[Chorus]



[Verse 7]

Oh, come, Desire of nations, bind

In one the hearts of all mankind;

Oh, bid our sad divisions cease

And be yourself our King of Peace
