O Emmanuel, our King and lawgiver, for whom the nations
wait, their only Savior, come Thou, O Lord our God, be our salvation.
Drop down ye heavens from above, and let the skies pour down
righteousness;
Let the earth open and bring forth salvation.
Stir up, we beseech Thee, O Lord, give ear to our prayers
and lighten the darkness of our hearts by Thy gracious visitation; through
Jesus Christ Thy Son, our Lord.
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.
