Oh, come, oh, come, Emmanuel, And ransom captive Israel, That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to you, O Israel! Oh, come, our Wisdom from on high, Who ordered all things mightily; To us the path of knowledge show, and teach us in her ways to go. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to you, O Israel! Oh, come, oh, come, our Lord of might, Who to your tribes on Sinais height In ancient times gave holy law, In cloud and majesty and awe. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to you, O Israel! Oh, come O Rod of Jesses stem, From evry foe deliver them That trust your mighty powr to save; Bring them in victry through the grave. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to you, O Israel! Oh, come, O Key of David, come, And open wide our heavnly home; Make safe the way that leads on high, And close the path to misery. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to you, O Israel! Oh, come, our Dayspring from on high, And cheer us by your drawing nigh, Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, And deaths dark shadows put to flight. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to you, O Israel! Oh, come, Desire of nations, bind In one the hearts of all mankind; Oh, bid our sad divisions cease, And be yourself our King of Peace. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to you, O Israel! ____________ Oh, Come, Oh, Come Emmanuel – Hymn # 31 from Lutheran Worship Author: French Processional Tune: Veni Emmanuel 1st Published in: 1854 Translated: John Neal, 1818-66
