Tune: | [O come, O come, Emmanuel] |
Composer: | Thomas Helmore |
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 Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny;
From depths of hell Thy people save
And give them vict'ry o'er the grave. (Refrain)
3 O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
And drive away the shades of night,
And pierce the clouds and bring us light! (Refrain)
4 O come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery. (Refrain)
5 O come, Messiah, come again,
And rid the world of death and sin.
Return, thou risen Savior and King,
That heav'n and earth at last may sing. (Refrain)
Amen.
