O Come, o Come, Immanuel Songtext
von Annie Haslam
O Come, o Come, Immanuel Songtext
O come, O come, Immanuel, And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Refrain
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel! O come, Thou Wisdom from on high, And order all things, far and nigh; To us the path of knowledge show, And cause us in her ways to go.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel! O come, Desire of nations, bind
All peoples in one heart and mind; Bid envy, strife, and quarrels cease; Fill the whole world with heaven′s peace.
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Refrain
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel! O come, Thou Wisdom from on high, And order all things, far and nigh; To us the path of knowledge show, And cause us in her ways to go.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel! O come, Desire of nations, bind
All peoples in one heart and mind; Bid envy, strife, and quarrels cease; Fill the whole world with heaven′s peace.
