O come, O come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel 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 Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel O come, Desire of nations, bind all peoples in one heart and mind Bid envy, strife and quarrels cease Fill all the world with heaven's peace Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel
