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 O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer Our spirits by Thine advent here And drive away the shades of night And pierce the clouds and bring us light O come, Desire of nations, bind All people in one heart and mind Bid envy strife and quarrels cease Fill all the world with heaven's peace
