O come, O come, Emmanuel

And the Word became flesh...

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 thee, O Israel

O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Thy people with Thine advent here;
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, Thou rod of Jesse, free Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From the depths of hell Thy people save
And give them victory o'er the grave
Rejoice, rejoice Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
