Text

O Come, O Come Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel, That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear. O come thou Dayspring come and cheer Our spirits by Thine Advent here, and drive away the shades of night, And pierce the clouds and bring us light! ​ Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee O Israel. ​ O come, Desire of nations, bind All people in one heart and mind; Bid envy strife and quarrels cease, And fill the world with Heaven's peace. - traditional Advent text
