Rebecca St. James - O Come Emmanuel Lyrics
O Come Emmanuel
Translated by John M. Neale and
Henry S. Coffin
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!
O Israel!
Shall come
O come thou dayspring come and cheer
Our spirits by thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And deaths dark shadows put to flight
[CHORUS]
Come to thee my friend
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
[CHORUS]
O come, O come Emmanuel - come (x4)
