O come, O come, Emmanuel

歌詞

And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appears Chorus Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee O Israel O come, thou rod of Jesse, free Thine own from Satan's tyranny From depths of of hell thy people save And give them vict'ry o'er the grave Chorus Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee O Israel O come, O Dayspring, come and cheer Our spirits by thine advent here And drive away the shaves of night And pierce the clouds and bring us light Chorus Rejoice! Rejoice! 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 on high And close the path to misery Chorus Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee O Israel O come, O come, Thou Lord of might Who to thy tribes, on Sinai's height In ancient times did'st give the law In cloud and majesty and awe Chorus Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee O Israel -Rev. Issac Watts
