O come, O come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the son of god appear Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel Long ago the earth lay sleeping Waiting for the darkest night To bring with it the dove of peace Rising on the wings, wings of the sun Rising on the wings of the sun O come, O come, thou dayspring bright Pour on our souls thy healing light Dispel the long nights lingering gloom And pierce the shadows of the tomb Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel
