Текст песни Choir Of Magdalen College Oxford - O come, O come, Emmanuel

O come, O come Emmanuel!
Redeem thy captive Israel,
That into exile drear is gone
Far from the face of God's dear Son.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, O come, Adonaï,
Who in thy glorious majesty
From that high mountain clothed with awe
Gavest thy folk the ancient law.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, thou Root of Jessel draw
The quarry from the lion's claw;
From the dread, caverns of the grave,
From nether hell, thy people save.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come thou Lord of David's Key!
The royal door fling wide and free;
Safeguard for us the heav'nward road.
And bar the way to death's abode.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Desire of nations! show
Thy kingly reign on earth below;
Thou Corner-stone, uniting all,
Restore the ruin of our fall.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
