O come, O come, Immanuel,
and ransom captive Israel,
that mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear.
Refrain
Rejoice ! Rejoice ! Immanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,
who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
in ancient times didst give the law
in cloud and majesty and awe.
(Refrain)
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny;
from depths of hell Thy people save,
and give them victory o'er the grave.
(Refrain)
O 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.
(Refrain)
