"O Come, O Come Emmanuel" lyrics

"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 appears

Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heavenly home
Make safe the way that leads to thee
And close the path to misery

Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

(Rejoice! Rejoice!)

O come, O Bright and Morning Star
And bring us comfort from afar
Dispel the shadows of the night
And turn our darkness into light

Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
