Veni, Veni Emmanuel!   Captivum solve Israel!   Qui gemit in exsilio,   Privatus Dei Filio.      [Refrain:]   Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel   Nascetur pro te, Israel.      Veni, O Jesse virgula,   Ex hostis tuos ungula,   De specu tuos tartari   Educ et antro barathri.      [Refrain]      Veni, Veni O Oriens!   Solare nos adveniens,   Noctis depelle nebulas,   Dirasque noctis tenebras.      [Refrain]      Veni, Clavis Davidica,   Regna reclude caelica,   Fac iter tutum superum,   Et claude vias inferum.      [Refrain]      Veni, Veni Adonai!   Qui populo in Sinai   Legem dedisti vertice,   In Majestate gloriae.      [Refrain]      Veni, O Sapientia,   Quae hic disponis omnia,   Veni, viam prudentiae   Ut doceas et gloriae.      [Refrain]      Veni, Veni, Rex gentium,   Veni, Redemptor omnium,   Ut salvas tuos famulos   Peccati sibi conscios.      [Refrain]         [Translation:]      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 Rod of Jesse, free   Thine own from Satan's tyranny;   From depths of hell Thy people save,   And give them victory over the grave.      [Refrain]      O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer   Our spirits by Thine advent here;   And drive away the shades of night   And pierce the clouds and bring us light!      [Refrain]      O come, Thou Key of David, come,   And open wide our heavenly home;   Make safe the way that leads on high,   And close the path to misery.      [Refrain]      O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,   Who to Thy tribes on Sinai's height   In ancient times once gave the law   In cloud, and majesty, and awe.      [Refrain]
