92. O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

1 O come, O come, Emmanuel,
and ransom captive Israel,
that mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear.

Refrain:
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
shall come to thee, O Israel.

2 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. [Refrain]

3 O come, O come, great Lord of might,
who to thy tribes on Sinai's height
in ancient times did give the law
in cloud and majesty and awe. [Refrain]
