Until the Son of God appear.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel

Unto Thine own, and rescue them!
From depths of hell Thy people save,
And give them victory o'er the grave. [Refrain]

And bring us comfort from afar!
Dispel the shadows of the night,
And turn our darkness into light. [Refrain]
4 O come, Thou Lord of David's key!
The gate of heaven unfolds to Thee;
Make safe for us the heavenward road,
And bar the way to death's abode. [Refrain]

Who to Thy tribes from Sinai's height
In olden times didst give the law
In cloud and majesty and awe. [Refrain] Topics: Advent Of Christ ; Deliverance from Death; Hell; Immanuel; Israel in Captivity; Joy; God or Christ as Light Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETERSBURG
