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 Shall come to thee O Israel O come Thou Dayspring come and cheer Our spirits by Thine advent here Disperse the gloomy clouds of night And death's dark shadows put to flight O come Thou Wisdom from on high And order all things far and nigh To us the path of knowledge show And cause us in her ways to go 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
