O Come O Come Emmanuel

The favorite O Come, O Come Emmanuel carol was originally written in Latin text in the 12th Century.

O come, O come, Emmanuel

And  ransom captive Israel

That mourns in longely exile here

Until the Son of God appear

Rejoice! Rejoice!  Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.

 

 O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free

Thine own from Satan's tyranny

From depts of Hell Thy people save

and give them victory o'er the grave

Rejoice!  Rejoice!  Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Key of David, come,

And open wide our heavenly home;

Make safe the way that leads on high,

And close the path to misery.

Rejoice!  Rejoice!  Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,

Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,

In ancient times did'st give the Law,

In a cloud, and majesty and awe.

Rejoice!  Rejoice!  Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.
