o come o come emmanuel

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
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 you, O Israel

O come, O Wisdom from on high,
Who orders all things mightily;
To us the path of knowledge show,
And teach us in her way to go.

Chorus

O come, O come, great Lord of might
Who to your tribes, on Sinai's height
In ancient times once gave the law
In cloud and majesty and awe.

Chorus

O come, O rod of Jesse's stem
From every foe deliver them
That trust your mighty power to save
And give them vict'ry O'er the grave

Chorus

O come, O Key of David, come
And open wide our heavenly home
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery.

Chorus
