Tune: | VENI EMMANUEL |
Arranger: | Eldon Burkwall, 1928 |
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, 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]
3 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]
4 O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
O drive away the shades of night,
And pierce the clouds and bring us light. [Refrain]
5 O come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heav'nly home
Where all Thy saints with Thee shall dwell-
O come, O come, Emmanuel! [Refrain]
