Il testo della O come, o come emmanuel

O come, o come emmanuel
And ransom captive israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the son of god appear

Rejoice! rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, o israel

O come, o come thou dayspring bright
Pour on our souls thy healing light
Dispel the long night's lingering gloom
And pierce the shadows of the tomb

Rejoice! rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, o israel
Shall come to thee, o israel

O come desire of nations bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
Bid every strife and quarrel cease
And fill the world with heaven's peace

Rejoice! rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee
Shall come to thee
Rejoice! rejoice!
Emanuel shall come to thee, o israel
