Author: John M. Neale; John Mason Neale Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #7 (1937) Refrain First Line: Rejoice! rejoice! Immanuel Lyrics: 1 O come, O come, Immanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Refrain:
Rejoice! rejoice! Immanuel
shall come to thee, O Israel!
2 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]
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.
Amen.
O Come, O Come, Immanuel
