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 wisdom from on high And order all things, far and nigh To us the path of knowledge show And cause is 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
O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer Our spirits by Thine advent here Disperse the gloomy clouds of night And death's dark shadows put to flight
