Advent Song of the Week

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 spirits 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 teach us in her ways to grow

Rejoice, rejoice
Emmanuel
Shall come to thee
O, Israel

O come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
Bid our sad divisions cease
And crown Thyself our King of Peace

Rejoice, rejoice
Emmanuel
Shall come to thee
O, Israel
