O Come Emmanuel Lyrics

John Berry O Come Emmanuel

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here,
Until the Son of God appears.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel,
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer,
Our spirits by Thine advent here,
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel,
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come desire of nations bind,
All peoples in one heart and mind,
Bid envy, strife and quarrels cease,
Fill the whole world with heaven's peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel,
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
