						Veni, veni, Emmanuel;
						Captivum solve Israel,
 Qui gemit in exilio,
 Privatus Dei Filio.
 Gaude! gaude! Emmanuel
 Nascetur pro te, Israel.
						Veni, o Jesse Virgula;
						Ex hostis tuos ungula,
 De specu tuos tartari
 Educ, et antro barathri.
 Gaude! gaude! Emmanuel
 Nascetur pro te, Israel.
						Veni, veni, o Oriens;
						Solare nos adveniens;
 Noctis depelle nebulas
 Dirasque noctis tenebras.
 Gaude! gaude! Emmanuel
 Nascetur pro te, Israel.
						Veni, Clavis Davidica;
						Regna reclude clica;
 Fac iter tutum superum,
 Et claude vias inferum.
 Gaude! gaude! Emmanuel
 Nascetur pro te, Israel.
						Veni, veni, Adonai,
						Qui populo in Sinai
 Legem dedisti vertice
 In majestate gloriæ.
 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 appear.
 Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
 Shall come to thee, O Israel.
						O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
						Thine own from Satans tyranny;
 From depths of hell Thy people save,
 And give them victory oer the grave.
 Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
 Shall come to thee, O Israel.
						O come, Thou Dayspring, from on high,
						And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh;
 Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
 And deaths dark shadows put to flight.
 Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
 Shall come to thee, O Israel.
						O come, Thou Key of David, come
						And open wide our heavenly home;
 Make safe the way that leads on high
 And close the path to misery.
 Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
 Shall come to thee, O Israel.
						O come, Adonai, Lord of might,
						Who to Thy tribes, on Sinais height,
 In ancient times didst give the law
 In cloud and majesty and awe.
 Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
 Shall come to thee, O Israel.
