Oh, come, oh, come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, oh, Israel.
Oh, come, oh, come, Thou Day-Spring bright,
Pour on our souls Thy healing light,
Dispell the long lights lingering gloom
And pierce the shadows of the tomb.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, oh, Israel,
Shall come to thee, oh, Israel.
Oh, come, desire of nations bind
In one the hearts of all mankind,
Bid every strife and quarrel cease,
And fill the world* with heaven’s peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, (shall come to thee).
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, oh, Israel.
