1  O come,  O   come    Em-ma-a-an-u - el,
2  O come, Thou Dayspring, come and    cheer 
3  O come,  Thou   Wisdom  from on     high, 
4  O come   Desire   of    na - tions, bind 
5  O come, Thou Branch of  Jes -se's   stem

   Am  G       Em          Am   C       Em
1  And ransom  captive     I--i-is-ra - el, 
2  Our spirits by Thine    a--a-ad-vent here; 
3  And order   all things, fa-a-ar and  nigh; 
4  In  one the hearts of   a--a-all man-kind; 
5  Un -to Thine own  and   re-e-es-cue them

        Am              B7 Em  D    C     D7
1  That mourns in  lone-ly e---ex - ile   here,
2  Dis -perse the gloom-y  clo-ouds of    night, 
3  To   us  the  path   of kno-ow - ledge show, 
4  Bid  Thou  our  sad  di-vi--i  - sions cease; 
5  From depths of hell  Thy pe-eo - ple   save,

   B7  Em           G        Am   B7       G
1  Un -til   the    Son of   Go-o-od    ap-pear.
2  And death's dark shadows  pu-u-ut  to   flight.
3  And cause us     in her   wa-a-ays  to  go.
4  And be   Thy  -  self our Ki-i-ing  of  peace.
5 And give   them   victory  o--o-o'er the grave

   Shall come to thee, O  I-i-is-ra - el!
