O come, O come, Emmanuel
Redeem thy captive Israel
That into exile drear has gone
Far from the face of God's dear sonRejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O IsraelO come, o come, thy branch of Jesse
Draw the quarry from the lion's claw
From the dread caverns of the grave
From nether hell, thy people save
O come, O come, thy Dayspring bright
Pour on our souls thy healing light
Dispel the long night's lingering gloom
And pierce the shadows of the tombO come, though lord of David's Key
The royal door fling wide and free
Safeguard for us the heavenward road
And bar the way to death's abode
O come, O come, Adonai
Whom in thy glorious majesty
From that high mountain, clothed in awe
Gavest thy folk the elder law
