Veni Veni Emmanuel


Veni, Veni Emmanuel!
Captivum solve Israel
Qui gemit in exsilio
Privatus Dei Filio
Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.

O come, O come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

O Come now Dayspring, come and cheer
Our Spirits by thine advent here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
