O come, O come, Immanuel,
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lowly exile here
Until the Son of God appears.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel,
The gift of God has come to dwell–
He’s with us now in truth and grace,
The light of God, behold his face–
The light of God, behold his face.
O Christians come, and let us be
Good gifts of peace and charity,
Abundant life, and hopeful day.
And give until all people say-
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel–
God’s with us now and we can tell–
We see his truth we see his grace,
Behold his church, behold his face.
Behold his church, behold his face.
In where we go, and where we’ve been,
O may we bring a sense of him,
Who came to us in flesh and blood,
Who blessed and did all people good.
Immanuel, the Name we bear–
The life that he gives is the life we share.
Immanuel! O may we be
The light of his presence for all to see–
The light of his presence for all to see.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel,
The gift of God has come to dwell–
He’s with us now in truth and grace,
The light of God, behold his face–
The light of God, behold his face.
