And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here,
Until the Son of God appear.
Refrain:
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to Thee, O Israel!
2 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]
3 O come, thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny;
From depths of hell Thy people save,
And give them vict'ry o'er the grave. [Refrain]
4 O come, thou Day-Spring from on high
And cheer us by thy drawing nigh;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadows put to flight. [Refrain]
5 O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heav'nly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery. [Refrain]
