and ransom captive Israel
that mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear.
2 O come, O Wisdom from on high,
who ordered all things mightily;
to us the path of knowledge show
and teach us in its way to go.
3 O come, O Branch of Jesse’s stem,
unto thine own and rescue them!
From depths of hell thy people save,
and give them victory o’er the grave.
4 O come, O Bright and Morning Star,
and bring us comfort from afar!
Dispel the shadows of the night
and turn our darkness into light.
Refrain:
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
shall come to thee, O Israel.
