O Come, O Come Emmanuel Songtext
von Joshua James

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, O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from that Satan′s tyranny;
From depths of Hell thy people He will save,
And give them victory over the grave.


Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel;
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, O come Thou King of David, come,
And open wide your heavenly home.
Make safe the way that leads us on high,
And close the path of misery, by and by.

Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel;
Shall come to thee O, Israel;
Shall come to thee O, Israel.
