[Verse 1]
O come, O come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
[Chorus]
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Has come to thee, oh Israel
[Verse 2]
O come, Thou Wisdom from on high
And order all things far and nigh
To us the path of knowledge show
And in her ways cause us to go
[Verse 3]
O come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease
And be Thyself our King of Peace.
