O come, O come, Immanuel

O come, O come, Immanuel,
and ransom captive Israel.
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel,
shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, O Wisdom from on high,
Who ordered all things mightily;
To us the path of knowledge show
And teach us in its ways to go.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel,
shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, O Branch of Jesse's stem,
Unto your own and rescue them!
From depths of hell your people save,
And give them victory o'er the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel,
shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, O Bright and Morning Star,
and bring us comfort from afar!
Dispel the gloomy shadows of night
And turn our darkness into light.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel,
shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, O King of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind.
Bid all our sad divisions cease
And be yourself our King of Peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel,
shall come to thee, O Israel.
