Songtext von O Come, O Come Emmanuel

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 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, Emmanuel Shall come to thee, o Israel 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, Emmanuel Shall come to thee, o Israel 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, Emmanuel Shall come to thee, o Israel O come, O come, Thou Lord of might Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height In ancient times did'st give the Law In cloud, and majesty and awe Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel Shall come to thee, o Israel
