一 以馬內利,懇求降臨!
救贖被擄以色列民;
淪落異邦,寂寞傷心,
引頸渴望神子降臨。
(副)歡欣!歡欣!以色列民;
以馬內利定要降臨!
二 耶西枝條,懇求降臨!
撒但手中,釋放子民;
陰間深處,拯救子民,
使眾得勝死亡之墳。
三 清晨日光,懇求降臨!
藉主降臨,歡慰眾心;
衝開長夜幽暗愁雲,
驅散死亡深沉黑影。
四 大衛之鑰,懇求降臨!
大開我們天上家庭;
保守我們奔走天程,
斷絕我們愁苦曲徑。
1. 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!
2. 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 o'er the grave.
3. O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
And drive away the shades of night,
And pierce the clouds and bring us light!
4. 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.
