1 O come, O come, Immanuel,
and ransom captive Israel that mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God
appear.
Refrain: Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel
shall come to you, O Israel.
2 O come, O Wisdom from on
high, who ordered all things mightily; to us the path of knowledge show and
teach us in its ways to go.
Refrain
3 O come, O come, great Lord
of might, who to your tribes on Sinai's height in
ancient times did give the
law in cloud and majesty and awe.
Refrain
4 O come, O Branch of Jesse's
stem, unto your own and rescue them! From depths of hell your people save, and
give them victory o'er the grave.
Refrain
5 O come, O Key of David,
come and open wide our heavenly home. Make safe for us the heavenward road and
bar the way to death's abode.
Refrain
6 O come, O Bright and
Morning Star, and bring us comfort from afar! Dispel the shadows of the night
and turn our darkness into light.
Refrain
7 O come, O King of nations,
bind in one the hearts of all mankind. Bid all our sad divisions cease and be
yourself our King of Peace.
