<p>O come, O come, Emmanuel,<br>
|

And ransom captive Israel,<br>
|
|
That mourns in lonely exile here<br>
|
|
Until the Son of God appear.</p>

Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.</p>
|
|
<p>O come, Thou Wisdom from on high,<br>
|
|
Who orderest all things mightily;<br>
|
|
To us the path of knowledge show,<br>
|
|
And teach us in her ways to go.</p>

<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free<br>
|
|
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny;<br>
|
|
From depths of hell Thy people save,<br>
|
|
And give them victory over the grave.</p>

<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer<br>
|

Our spirits by Thine advent here;<br>

Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,<br>
|
|
And death’s dark shadows put to flight.</p>

<p>O come, Thou Key of David, come,<br>

And open wide our heavenly home;<br>

Make safe the way that leads on high,<br>

And close the path to misery.</p>

<p>O come, O come, great Lord of might,<br>

Who to Thy tribes on Sinai’s height<br>
|

In ancient times once gave the law<br>
|
|
In cloud and majesty and awe.</p>
|

|
<p>O come, Thou Root of Jesse’s tree,<br>

An ensign of Thy people be;<br>

Before Thee rulers silent fall;<br>
|
|
All peoples on Thy mercy call.</p>

<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>O come, Desire of nations, bind<br>
|

In one the hearts of all mankind;<br>

Bid Thou our sad divisions cease,<br>
|
|
And be Thyself our King of Peace.</p>
