Verse 1:
O come, O come, Emmanuel / And ransom captive Israel / That mourns in lonely exile here / Until the Son of God appear
Chorus:
Rejoice / Rejoice / Emmanuel / Shall come to thee O Israel
Verse 2:
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
Verse 3:
O come, Desire of nations, bind / in one the hearts of all mankind / Bid Thou our sad divisions cease / And be Thyself our King of Peace
