[Verse 1]
Oh, come, oh, come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Oh, come, our Wisdom from on high
Who ordered all things mightily;
To us the path of knowledge show
And teach us in her ways to go
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Oh, come, oh, come, our Lord of might
Who to your tribes on Sinai's height
In ancient times gave holy law
In cloud and majesty and awe
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Oh, come O Rod of Jesse's stem
From ev'ry foe deliver them
That trust your mighty pow'r to save;
Bring them in vict'ry through the grave
[Chorus]
[Verse 5]
Oh, come, O 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
[Chorus]
[Verse 6]
Oh, come, our Dayspring from on high
And cheer us by your drawing nigh
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And d**h's dark shadows put to flight
[Chorus]
[Verse 7]
Oh, come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind;
Oh, bid our sad divisions cease
And be yourself our King of Peace
