O come o come emmanuel And ransom captive israel That mourns in lowly exile here Until the sun of god appear 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! O come thou dayspring, come and cheer Our spirits by thine advent here And drive away the shades of night Pierce the clouds and bring us light Rejoice! rejoice!
