O come, O come, Emmanuel,

        G              C          Am D Em
And ransom captive Israel,

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the Son of God appear.

Rejoice! Rejoice!

Emmanuel   shall come to thee, O Is-rael.

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free

             G             C        Am D Em
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny;

From depths of hell Thy people save,

And give them victory over the grave.

Cheer

        G          C             Am D   Em
Our spirits by Thine advent here;

Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,

          Em                          Am D     G
And death’s dark shadows put to flight.

Em                              Am D    Em

O come, Thou Key of David, come,

         G          C           Am  D       Em
And open wide our heavenly home;

          Am                        G           D
Make safe the way that leads on high,

         Em                   Am D G
And close the path to misery.
