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 thee, O Israel!
2 O come, Thou Branch of Jesse's stem,
Unto Thine own, and rescue them!
From depths of hell Thy people save,
And give them victory o'er the grave. [Refrain]
3 O come, Thou Bright and Morning Star
And bring us comfort from afar!
Dispel the shadows of the night,
And turn our darkness into light. [Refrain]
4 O come, Thou Lord of David's key!
The gate of heaven unfolds to Thee;
Make safe for us the heavenward road,
And bar the way to death's abode. [Refrain]
5 O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes from Sinai's height
In olden times didst give the law
In cloud and majesty and awe. [Refrain]
