Sunday Hymn

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 Dayspring, come and cheer

Our spirit 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 Wisdom from on high,

And order all things, far and nigh;

To us the path of knowledge show,

And cause us in her ways to go.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!

O come, Desire of nations, bind

All peoples in one heart and mind;

Bid envy, strife and quarrels cease,

Fill all the world with heaven's peace.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
