O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

Lyrics

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
and ransom captive Israel
that mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear.

Refrain:
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Wisdom from on high,
who ord'rest all things mightily;
to us the path of knowledge show
and teach us in its ways to go.

(Refrain)

O come, O King of nations, bind
in one the hearts of all humankind.
Bid all our sad divisions cease
and be thyself our Prince of Peace.

(Refrain)
