Oh, come, oh, come Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile Until the Son of God appear Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to you, O Israel! 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 Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to you, O Israel! 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 Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to you, O Israel!
