1. O come, O come, Em- man- u- el, And ran- som cap- tive Is- ra- el, That mourns in lone- ly e- xile here Un- til the Son of God ap- pear. Re- joice! Re- joice! Em- man- u- el shall come to thee, O I- sra- el.
 
2. O come, Thou Wis- dom from on high, Who or- derest all things might- i- ly; To us the path of know- ledge show, And teach us in her ways to go.
 
3. O come, Thou Rod of Jes- se, free Thine own from Sa- tan's ty- ran- ny; From depths of hell Thy peo- ple save, And give them vic- t'ry ov'r the grave.
 
4. O come, Thou Day- spring, come and cheer Our spi- rits by Thine ad- vent here; Dis- perse the gloom- y clouds of night, And death's dark sha- dows put to flight.
 
5. O come, Thou Key of Da- vid, come, And o- pen wide our hea- v'nly home; Make safe the way that leads on high, And close the path to mi- ser- y.
