O come, O come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel, That mourns in lonely exile here, Until the Son of God appear. 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. 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 Hell Thy people save, And give them vict'ry o'er the grave. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. 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. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. Hark! the herald angels sing glory to the newborn King! Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled! Joyful, all ye nations, rise, join the triumph of the skies; with the'angelic host proclaim Christ is born in Bethlehem! Hark! the herald angels sing glory to the newborn King! Christ, by highest heav'n adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord; late in time behold him come, offspring of the Virgin's womb. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; hail th'incarnate Deity Pleased as man with man to dwell; Jesus, our Emmanuel! Hark! the herald angels sing glory to the newborn King! Mild he lays his glory by born that man no more may die, born to raise us from the earth, born to give us second birth. Ris'n with healing in his wings, light and life to all he brings, hail, the Sun of Righteousness! hail, the heav'nborn Prince of Peace! Hark! the herald angels sing glory to the newborn King!
