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.

thine own from Satan's tyranny;
from depths of hell thy people save,
and give them victory o'er the grave: [Refrain]
3 O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer
our spirits by thine advent here;
disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
and death's dark shadows put to flight: [Refrain]
4 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]
5 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] Topics: Advent; Advent I Year B; Advent I Year C; Advent IV Year A Languages: English Tune Title: VENI EMMANUEL
