O COME, O COME EMMANUEL
new words & music by Stookey/DeCormier-
Lawson-Gould Publishers ASCAP
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 day spring, come and cheer our spirits by
thine advent here
And drive away the gloomy clouds of night, forever death's dark shadows
put to flight.
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, O come, Emmanuel ...
Come and ransom captive Israel
O come, thou key of David, come and open wide our
heav'nly home.
Make safe the path that leads our hearts to thee, and close the door to
misery.
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel
Oh come, thou Ruler of all Nations bind
All peoples in one heart and mind
Bid envy, pride and warring cease
And fill the Earth with heavenly peace |
