Linda Eder - O Come O Come Emmanuel / What Child Is This? lyrics

Come, o come Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the son of God appears Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, o Israel O come, o come, thou lord of might Who to thy tribes on Sinai's height In ancient times did'st give the law In cloud, and majesty and awe Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, o Israel O come, thou rod of Jesse, free Thine own from satan's tyranny; From depths of hell thy people save And give them vict'ry o'er the grave Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, o Israel O come, thou key of David, come And open wide our heav'nly home; Make safe the way that leads on high And close the path to misery Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, o Israel O come, thou day spring Come and cheer our spirits by thine advent here; Disperse the gloomy clouds of night And d**h's dark shadows put to flight Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, o Israel What child is this, who laid to rest On Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet While shepherds watch are keeping? This this is Christ the king Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste haste to bring Him laud The babe the son of Mary So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh Come, peasant, king to own Him The king of kings salvation brings Let loving hearts enthrone Him This, this is Christ the king Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste haste to bring Him laud The babe the son of Mary
