O come, O 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, O Israel! O come, Thou Wisdom from on high Who ord'rest all things mightily To us the path of knowledge show And teach us in her ways to go O come, O come, Thou Lord of might Who to thy tribes on Sinai's height In ancient times didst give the law In cloud and majesty and awe O come, Thou Rod of Jesse's stem From ev'ry foe deliver them That trust thy mighty pow'r to save And give them vict'ry o'er the grave O come, Thou 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 O come, Thou Dayspring from on high And cheer us by thy drawing nigh Disperse the gloomy clouds of night And death's dark shadow put to flight O come, Desire of nations, bind In one the hearts of all humankind Bid thou our sad divisions cease And be thyself our Prince of Peace
