O come, O come, Emmanuel, O come, Desire of nations, bind
Em Am Bm Em Em Am Bm Em
And ransom captive I---srael, In one the hearts of humankind;

That mourns in lonely exile here Bid Thou our sad divisions cease,

Until the Son of God appear. And be Thyself our King of Peace.

Emmanuel shall come to thee, O I---srael.

Em D/F# G C
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free

Thine own from Satan’s tyranny;

From depths of hell Thy people save,
Em Am Bm G
And give them victory o’er the grave.

Em D/F# G C
O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer
Em Am Bm Em
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
Am Em D/F#
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
Em Am Bm G
And death’s dark shadows put to flight.
