O Come, O Come, Emmanuel lyrics
EnyaO come, O come Emmanuel
To free your captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice, rejoice O Israel
To you shall come Emmanuel
Oh...
Veni, veni, Emmanuel
Captivum solve Israel
Qui gemit in exilio
Privatus Dei Filio
Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel
[Interlude]
Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel
Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel
