O Come O Come Immanuel

O come, O come, Immanuel,

And ransom captive Israel

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the Son of God appear.

Refrain

Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel

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 us in her ways to go.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel!

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.
