Come, come Emmanuel;
Free the captive Israel,
Who groans in exile,
Private Son of God.
Refrain
Rejoice! Enjoy! Emmanuel,
He will be born for you, Israel!
Come, come, O East;
Coming to give us sunshine,
Dispel the clouds of the night,
And the darkness of the night.
Come, Key of David! !
To the people in Sinai,
You gave the law from above,
In the majesty of glory.
Refrain
English translations
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Day-star, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Reject! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads to Thee ,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Reject! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come to lead us Adonai,
Who to the tribes on height of Sinai
In ancient times did'st give the Law,
In cloud, and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Reject! 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 o'er the grave
Rejoice! Reject! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
