RHC 119 O Come O Come Emmanuel

(1)
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.

(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.
Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

(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.
Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

(4)
O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
O drive away the shades of night
And pierce the clouds and bring us light.
Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

(5)
O come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heav’nly home
Where all Thy saints with Thee shall dwell
— O come, O come, Emmanuel!
Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
