Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel, Shall come to thee, O Israel!
O come, O come Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear.
O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer Our spirits by Thy justice here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, And death's dark shadows 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.
From dust Thou brought us forth to life; Deliver us from earthly strife.
