 Those dear tokens of his passion

Still his dazzling body bears,

Cause of endless exultation

To his ransomed worshippers:

With what rapture

Gaze we on those glorious scars!

Yea, amen! let all adore thee,

High on thine eternal throne;

Saviour, take the power and glory:

Claim the kingdom for thine own:

O come quickly!

Alleluya! Come, Lord, come!

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, thou Branch of Jesse! draw

The quarry from the lion's claw;

From the dread caverns of the grave,

From nether hell, thy people save.

O come, O come, thou Dayspring bright!

Pour on our souls thy healing light;

Dispel the long night's lingering gloom,

And pierce the shadows of the tomb.

O come, thou Lord of David's Key!

The royal door fling wide and free;

Safeguard for us the heavenward road,

And bar the way to death's abode.

O come, O come, Adonäi,

Who in thy glorious majesty

From that high mountain clothed with awe

Gavest thy folk the elder law.
