Verses: 
 
  Em             Am   Em 
O come, O come, Emmanu-el, 
    G              D    Em 
And ransom captive Isra-el, 
     Am               G     D 
That mourns in lonely exile here 
  Em             Am       G 
Until the Son of God appear. 
 
D        Em 
Rejoice! Rejoice! 
Am     Em        G              D    Em 
Emmanu-el shall come to thee, O Isra-el. 
 
  Em                     Am       Em 
O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer 
    G                D      Em 
Our spirits by Thine advent here; 
    Am             G         D 
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, 
    Em                    Am       G 
And deaths dark shadows put to flight. 
 
  Em                Am       Em 
O come, Thou key of David, come 
    G                D      Em 
and open wide our heavenly home 
    Am             G         D 
Make safe the way that leads to life, 
    Em              Am     G 
And close the path to misery
