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. O come, Thou Day-Spring, from on High, And cheer us by Thy light on us to Rise; Disperse the gloomy clouds of Night, And death's dark shadow put to Flight. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to Thee, O Israel. O come, O come, True Prophet of the Lord, And turn the key to heaven's door; Be Thou our Comforter and Guide, And lead us to the Father's Side. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall by His Word our darkness dispel. O come, Thou great High Priest, And intercede, Thy sacrifice our only plea, The judgment we no longer Fear; Thy precious blood has brought us near. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel has banished Every fear of hell. O come, Thou King of Nations, Bring An end to all our suffering; Bid every pain and Sorrow cease, And reign Thou as our Prince of Peace. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come Again with us to dwell.
