O come, o come Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, o Israel

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

The first noel, the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of Israel

I wonder as I wander out under the sky
Why Jesus the saviour did come for to die
For poor on'ry people like you and I die
I wonder as I wander out under the sky

If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing
A star in the sky or a bird on the wing
Or all of God's angels in heaven to sing
He surely could have it
'Cause he was the king

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, o Israel
