Oh, come, oh, come Emmanuel, 
And ransom captive Israel, 
That mourns in lonely exile 
Until the Son of God appear. 
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel 
Shall come to you, O Israel! 

Oh, come, O key of David, come, 
And open wide our heav'nly home; 
Make safe the way that leads on high, 
And close the path to misery. 
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel 
Shall come to you, O Israel! 

Oh, come, oh, come our Lord of might, 
Who to your tribes on Sinai's height 
In ancient times gave holy law, 
In cloud and majesty and awe 
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel 
Shall come to you, O Israel!
