nigh, draw nigh, Emmanuel

And ransom captive Israel,

That mourns in lonely exile here,

Until the of  appear;

Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall he born for thee, O Israel!

Draw nigh, O Jesse's Rod, draw nigh,

To free us from the enemy;

From Hell's infernal pit to save,

And give us victory o'er the grave.

Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall be born for thee, O Israel!

Draw nigh, Thou Orient, Who shalt cheer

And comfort by Thine Advent here,
