O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

O come, O come Emmanuel, And ransom captive Israel, That mourns in lonely exile here, Until the Son of God appear. Chorus: Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel! 2. Oh, come, oh, come, great Lord of might, Who to Thy tribes on Sinai's height In Ancient times once gave the law In cloud, and majesty and awe. Chorus: 3. Oh, come, strong branch of Jesse, free Thine own from Satans tyranny; From depths of hell Thy people save And give them vict'ry o'er the grave. Chorus: 4. Oh, 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. Chorus: 5. O Come Thou Dayspring, from on high And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh; Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, And death's dark shadows put to flight. Chorus: 6. O come, Thou Wisdom from on high, And order all things, far and nigh; To us the path of knowledge show, And cause us in her ways to go. Chorus: 7. O come desire of nations, bind All peoples in one heart and mind; Bid envy, strife, and quarrels cease; Fill the whole world with heaven's peace. Chorus:

Veni, veni Emmanuel, Captivum solve Israel, Qui gemit in exilio Privatus Dei Filio. Gaude, gaude! Emmanuel nascetur pro te, Israel. Veni, o Jesse Virgula; Ex hostis tuos ungula, De specu tuos tartari Deduc et antro barathri. Gaude, gaude! Emmanuel nascetur pro te, Israel. Veni, veni, o Oriens Solare nos adveniens; Noctis depele nebulas Dirasque noctis tenebras. Gaude, gaude! Emmanuel nascetur pro te, Israel. Veni clavis Davidica; Regna reclude caelica; Fac iter tutum superum, Et claude vias inferum. Gaude, gaude! Emmanuel nascetur pro te, Israel. Veni, veni Adonai, Qui populo in Sinai Legem dedisti vertice, In majestate gloriae. Gaude, gaude! Emmanuel nascetur pro te, Israel.
