¶Lyrics / Text

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 spring day, come and cheer our spirits by thine advent here; disperse the gloomy clouds of night, and death's dark shadow put to flight. O come, thou Wisdom from on high and order all things far and nigh; to us the path of knowledge show and cause us in her ways to go. O come, desire of nations, bind all peoples in one heart and mind; bid envy, strife and quarrels cease; fill the whole world with heaven's peace. Veni Emmanuel.
