O Come O Come Emmanuel (Veni Emmanuel)

Verse 1
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

Verse 2
O come Thou Dayspring come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight

Chorus
Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
shall come to thee O Israel

Verse 3
O come Thou Wisdom from on high
And order all things far and nigh
To us the path of knowledge show
And teach us in her ways to go

Chorus
Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
shall come to thee O Israel

Verse 4
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
Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
shall come to thee O Israel

Chorus
Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
shall come to thee O Israel
