who orderest all things mightily:
to us the path of knowledge show;
and teach us in her ways to go. [Refrain]
3 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]

thine own from Satan’s tyranny;
from depths of hell thy people save
and give them victory o’er the grave. [Refrain]

and open wide our heavenly home;
make safe the way that leads on high,
and close the path to misery. [Refrain]

our spirits by thine advent here;
disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
and death’s dark shadows put to flight. [Refrain]
7 O come, Desire of nations, bind
all peoples in one heart and mind;
bid envy, strife, and discord cease;
fill the whole world with heaven’s peace. [Refrain]
