O COME, O come, Immanuel,

By A Collection of Hymns


      6-8s. Isaiah lix. 20.
      1 O COME, O come, Immanuel,
      And ransom captive Israel,
      That mourns in lonely exile here
      Until the Son of God appear.
      Rejoice! rejoice! Immanuel
      Shall come to thee, O Israel!

      2 O come, thou Rod of Jesse, free
      Thine own from Satan's tyranny;
      From depths of hell thy people save,
      And give them victory o'er the grave.
      Rejoice! rejoice! Immanuel
      Shall come to thee, O Israel!

      3 O come, thou Day-spring, come and cheer
      Our spirits by thine advent here;
      Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
      And death's dark shadows put to flight
      Rejoice! rejoice! Immanuel
      Shall come to thee, O Israel!

      4 O come, thou key of David, come,
      And open wide our heavenly home;
      Make safe the way that leads on high,
      And close the path to misery.
      Rejoice! rejoice! Immanuel
      Shall come to thee, O Israel!

      5 O come, O come, thou Lord of might!
      Who to thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
      In ancient times didst give the law
      In cloud, and majesty, and awe.
      Rejoice! rejoice! Immanuel
      Shall come to thee, O Israel!
