Come, O come, Emmanuel, release captive Israel, who mourns in exile deprived
of Gods Son.
R. Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel shall be born for you, O Israel.
Come, O come, King of the nations, come, Redeemer of all: that Thou mayst
save Thy family from the guilt of their sins. 3. Come, O come, O Dawn, our
Sun at its coming: dispel the shadow of night, and destroy our darkness.
4. Come, Key of David, open the kingdom of heaven; make safe the heavenly
way, and shut up the infernal way. 5. Come, O Rod of Jesse: from the clutches
of the enemy, from the snares of hell, and from the depths of the netherworld
lead forth thine own. 6. Come, O come, O Adonai [Lord], Who to thy people
on Sinais summit didst give the law in glorious majesty. 7. Come, O Wisdom,
Who arranges all things: come, that thou mayst teach us the glorious path of
wisdom.
