Emmanuel [English translation]

Come, come, Emmanuel:

Deliver the captive Israel

That mourns in its exile,

Deprived of the Son of God.

Rejoice! Rejoice! The Emmanuel

Will be born for you, Israel!

Come, come, you who rises,

Who arrives shining for us;

Sweep away the night mists

And the gloomy darkness of night.

Rejoice! Rejoice! The Emmanuel

Will be born for you, Israel!

Come, descent of David,

Open the Kingdom of Heaven wide;

Make its way highly safe

And close the path to hell.

Rejoice! Rejoice! The Emmanuel

Will be born for you, Israel!

Come, come, Adonai,

Who on the top of Sinai

Gave the Law to your people

In the glory of your majesty.

Rejoice! Rejoice! The Emmanuel

Will be born for you, Israel!
