that mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear.

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;
and drive away the shades of night,
and pierce the clouds and bring us light! (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, Desire of nations,
bind all peoples in one heart and mind;
bid envy, strife and quarrels cease;
fill all the world with heaven's peace. (Refrain)
