Veni, veni Emmanuel, Captivum solve Israel, Qui gemit in exilio Privatus Dei Filio. Gaude, gaude! Emmanuel nascetur pro te, Israel. Veni, veni, o Oriens Solare nos adveniens; Noctis depele nebulas Dirasque noctis tenebras. Gaude, gaude! Emmanuel nascetur pro te, Israel. Veni clavis Davidica; Regna reclude caelica; Fac iter tutum superum, Et claude vias inferum. Gaude, gaude! Emmanuel nascetur pro te, Israel. O come, O come Emmanuel, And ransom captive Israel, That mourns in lonely exile here, Until the Son of God appear. Chorus: Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel! Oh, come, Thou Key of David, come And open wide our heavenly home: Make safe the way that leads on high And close the path to misery Chorus: Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel! O Come Thou Dayspring, from on high And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh; Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, And death's dark shadows put to flight. Chorus: 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. Chorus: 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 the whole world with heaven's peace. Chorus: Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel!
