O Come, O Come Emmanuel

O Come, O Come Emmanuel
o come, o come, Emmanuel
and ransom captive Israel
taht mourns in lonely exile here
until the son of God appear.

Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
shall come to thee, o Israel
O come, o come, thou dayspring bright!
pour on our souls thy healing light
dispel the long night's lingering gloom,
and pierce the shadow of the tomb
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
shall come to thee, o Israel
O come, desire of the nations, bind
in one the hearts of all mankind
bid every strife and quarrel cease
and fill the world with heaven's peace
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
shall come to thee, o Israel..
