O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
This Hymn was written in Latin around 1100.
The author is unknown. John M. Neale translated
this Hymn in 1851. There are a number of verses and
adaptations to this beloved Hymn.
 
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears,

Refrain
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny;
From depths of hell Thy people save
And give them vict’ry o’er the grave.
(Refrain)

O come, Thou Dayspring from on high,
And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadow put to flight.
(Refrain)

O come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heav’nly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path too misery.
(Refrain)
