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 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   Rejoice! Rejoice!   Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel      O come, desire of nations, bind   All people in one heart and mind   Bid envy, strife and quarrel cease   Fill all the world with Heaven's peace   Rejoice! Rejoice!   Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
