O Come O Come Emmanuel

1. Veni veni, Emmanuel captivum solve Israel,
Qui gemit in exilio, privatus Dei Filio.
Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel,
Nascetur pro te Israel!
2. O come, thou Branch of Jesse! draw
The quarry from the lion’s claw;
From the dread caverns of the grave,
From nether hell, thy people save.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
3. O come, O come, thou Dayspring bright!
Pour on our souls thy healing light;
Dispel the long night’s lingering gloom,
And pierce the shadows of the tomb.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
4. O Come, thou Lord of David’s Key!
The royal door fling wide and free;
Safeguard for us the heavenward road,
And bar the way to death’s abode.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

5. Veni, veni, Adonai, qui populo in Sinai
Legem dedisti vertice in maiestate gloriae.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
