1 O come, O come, Immanuel,
and ransom captive Israel,
that mourns in lonely exile here,
until the Son of God appear.

Refrain:
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel
shall come to thee, O Israel.

2 O come, O come, thou God of law,
in cloud and majesty and awe.
Thy precepts, taught on Sinai’s height,
call us to lives both just and right. [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 Dayspring, come and cheer
our spirits by thine advent here.
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
and death’s dark shadow 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 to thee
and close the path to misery. [Refrain]

6 O come, thou Wisdom from on high,
and order all things far and nigh.
To us the path of knowledge show,
and cause us in thy ways to go. [Refrain]

7 O come, Desire of nations, bind
all peoples in one heart and mind.
Bid envy, strife, and quarrels cease,
and fill the world with heaven’s peace. [Refrain]
