O Come, O Come Emmanuel Songtext

von Pentatonix

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear

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

O come, Thou Wisdom from on high
Who ord'rest all things mightily
To us the path of knowledge show
And teach us in her ways to go

O come, O come, Thou Lord of might
Who to thy tribes on Sinai's height
In ancient times didst give the law
In cloud and majesty and awe

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse's stem
From ev'ry foe deliver them
That trust thy mighty pow'r to save
And give them vict'ry o'er the grave

O come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heav'nly home
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery

O come, Thou Dayspring from on high
And cheer us by thy drawing nigh
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadow put to flight

O come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all humankind
Bid thou our sad divisions cease
And be thyself our Prince of Peace
