Veni Veni Emmanuel [English translation]

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, 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

Shall come to thee, O Israel.
