O COME O COME EMMANUEL

e-minor

1:

O come, O come, Emmanuel,

And ransom captive Israel,

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the Son of God appear.

Chorus

Rejoice! Rejoice!

Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel. (Amen.)

2:

O come, O come, great Lord of might,

Who to Thy tribes on Sinai’s height

In ancient times didst give the law

In cloud and majesty and awe.

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.

4:

O come, Thou Day-spring from on high

And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh;

Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,

And death dark shadows put to flight.

5:

O come, Thou Key of David, come,

And open wide our heav’nly home;

Make safe the way that leads on high,

And close the path to misery.
