O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Refrain
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Wisdom from on high,
Who orderest all things mightily;
To us the path of knowledge show,
And teach us in her ways to go.
Refrain
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny;
From depths of hell Thy people save,
And give them victory over the grave.
Refrain
O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death’s dark shadows put to flight.
JOY TO THE WORLD
Joy to world, the lord is come;
Let earth receive her king.
Let ev’ry heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing ( 3x )
Joy to the world, the saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rock, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy (3x )
No more let sin and sorrow grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground.
He comes to make his blessings flow
Far as the curse is found ( 3x )
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nation prove
The glories of his righteouness
And wonder of his love ( 3x )
Joy to the world is right! And we need it!
Love the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It doesn’t get any better!
Thanks!
