O Come, O Come Emmanuel | Alto Vocal Guide

Verse 1
O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Chorus
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
Verse 2
O come, Thou Wisdom from on high,
Who ordered all things mightily;
To us the path of knowledge show,
And teach us in its ways to go.
Verse 3
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny;
From depths of hell Thy people save,
And give them vict'ry ov'r the grave.
Verse 4
O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Verse 5
O come, Thou Key of David come,
And open wide our heav'nly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
