O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

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 Disperse the gloomy clouds of night And death's dark shadows put to flight Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel Shall come to thee, o Israel O come, thou root of Jesse's tree An ensign of thy people be Before thee rulers silent fall All peoples on thy mercy call Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel Shall come to thee, o Israel Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel Shall come to thee, o Israel Shall come to thee, o Israel
