O
Root of Jesse, who standest for an ensign of the people, before whom kings shall
keep silent, to whom the nations shall offer their petitions, come to deliver
us, wait not any longer.
Rejoice
greatly, O Zion.
Behold,
Thy King cometh.
Stir
up, we beseech Thee, Thy power and come and with great might strengthen us that
by the help of Thy grace whatsoever is hindered by our sins may be speedily
accomplished through Thy mercy and satisfaction; through Jesus Christ, our
Lord.
O
Come, Thou ROD OF JESSE’S STEM,
From
every foe deliver them,
That
trust Thy mercy to save,
And
give them vict’ry o’er the grave.
Rejoice!
Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall
come to thee, O Israel.
