"O Come O Come Emmanuel" lyrics - THE CIVIL WARS

[Verse 1: Joy Williams]
O come, O come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears

[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

[Verse 2: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
O come, thou Wisdom from on high
Who orderest all things mightily
To us the path of knowledge show
And teach us in her ways to go

[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by thine advent here
And drive away the shades of night
And death's dark shadow put to flight

[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
