Lyrics of O come emmanuel (9th century)

O come, o come, emmanuel
And ransom captive israel
That mourns in lovely exile here
Until the son of god appear
Rejoyce, rejoyce emmanuel
Shall come to thee o israel!
Shall come!
O come thou dayspring come and cheer,
Our spirits by thine advent here
Disperse the gloom clouds of night
And deaths dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoyce, rejoyce emmanuel
Shall come to thee o israel!
O israel
Shall come!
Shall come!
Shall come!
Shall come!
Shall come!
Shall come!
Come to thee my friend.
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
Rejoyce, rejoyce emmanuel
Shall come to thee o israel
Rejoyce, rejoyce emmanuel
Shall come to thee o israel
O israel
Shall come!
O come, o come emmaunel
O come, o come emmanuel
O come, o come emmanuel
O come, o come emmanuel.
