Advent: Day 6
O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.

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

O EMMANUEL, our King and Lawgiver, the Expected of the nations and their Savior: Come and save us, O Lord, our God.

(stanza and antiphon 1 of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel", 9th cent. Latin, #211 in the United Methodist Hymnal)
