HYMN Lyrics Text: O Come, O Come Thou Child Emmanuel | Advent Song

HYMN Lyrics Text: O Come, O Come Thou Child Emmanuel

1. O come, O come, Thou child

Emmanuel

to free Thy people,

captive Israel!

From exile lead them home,

Thou promised One

so long awaited,

God's beloved Son




Rejoice, rejoice, the child Emmanuel

shall soon be born

to save thee, Israel.




2. O come, O come,

Thou shoot of Jesse's tree!

Thy downcast people

from bonds set free!

Thy loved ones

rescue from their deadly foe:

Save them from evi

and from every woe




3. O come and rise,

Thou Dayspring in the sky!

Come shine on us

who deep in shadow lie!

Come radiant dawn,

to end sin's weary night,

the clouds of doom

forever put to flight!




4. O come, O come,

Who art the Lord most high,

Who didst of old

come down on Sinai

to give Thy law in sight of Israel

in wondrous splendour,

come Emmanuel.
