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 He of Bethlehem To manger now from praise of Cherubim Thou Babe from everlasting old That precious King of ancient men once told Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel O come, Thou Naught of Beauty Who bore our griefs and our iniquity For as a lamb to slaughter He died And God's great wrath is satisfied Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Hath come to thee, O Israel O come, O come, Thou Great I Am To bring Thine Blood of Christ the Lamb By stripes and by Thy bruises we're healed Upon belief in Him are sealed Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Hath come to thee, O Israel Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Hath come to thee, O Israel
