O Come Emmanuel

O come, O come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That morns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice, Rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel!
O Israel!
Shall come
O come thou dayspring come and cheer
Our spirits by thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And deaths dark shadows put to flight
Rejoice, Rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel!
O Israel
Shall come (X6)
Come to thee my friend
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
Rejoice, Rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel
O Israel
Shall come
O come, O come Emmanuel

"I think its cool that hundreds of
years before Jesus' birth, God was
letting us in on His plans - that He
was going to send His Son Jesus." - Rebecca St. James
