Lyrics
Veni, Veni Emanuel
Captivum solve Israel
O come, o come, Emanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Chorus:
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emanuel
Shall come to thee, o Israel (come o come)
O come, o Day-spring come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
And drive away the shades of night
And pierce the clouds and bring us light
Repeat Chorus
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, rejoice (3-fold)
O come desire of nations bind
And wars the hearts of all mankind
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease
And be Thyself our Prince of Peace
Rejoice! (O come Emanuel) Rejoice! (O come Emanuel) Emanuel
Rejoice! (O come Emanuel) Rejoice! (O come Emanuel) Emanuel
Shall come to thee, o Israel
Shall come to thee, o Israel
Shall come to thee, o Israel
