Veni Veni Emmanuel [English translation]

O come, o come, Emmanuel,

and ransom captive Israel,

that morns in exile

deprived of the Son of God

Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel,

for thee Emmanuel shall be born!

O come, Wisdom

who order all things here

Come, to teach us

the path of prudence and glory

Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel,

for thee Emmanuel shall be born!

O come, o come, Adonai,

who to thy people on Sinai

did give the law from cloud

in the majesty of thy glory.

Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel,

for thee Emmanuel shall be born!

O Root of Jesse, who stands as a sign among the peoples

before thee kings will shut their mouths,

to thee the nations will make their prayer

Come and deliver us, and delay no longer.

O come, Thou Key of David

and open wide our heavenly home,

make safe the way that leads on high,

And shut the downwards roads

Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel,

for thee Emmanuel shall be born!

O come, Thou Dayspring,

and cheer us by thy drawing nigh

disperse the gloomy clouds of night

and death's dark shadows.

Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel,

for thee Emmanuel shall be born!

O come, King of the nations,

O come, Redeemer of all

And save thy servants

who are conscious of their sin

Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel,

for thee Emmanuel shall be born!

Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel,

for thee Emmanuel shall be born!
