O come, o come Emmanuel
and ransom captive Israel
that mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear.

O, come thou rod of Jesse, free
thine own from Satan’s tyrany,
from depths of hell thy people save,
and give them victory o’er the grave!

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmannuel
shall ransom captive Israel!

What child is this who laid to rest in Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Who angels greet with anthems sweet while shepherds watch are keeping?
O bring him incense gold and myrrh, come peasant, king to own him!
The King of Kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone him!

This, this is Christ the King whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud; the babe the son of Mary!

See here in flesh the Lord of might,
who once from Sinai’s flaming height
did’st give the trembling tribes the law
in cloud and majesty and awe!

Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!
Rejoice! Rejoice!
What child is this?
‘Tis God with us, Emmanuel!
