O Come O Come Emmanuel

by 13th Century Latin Plainsong
	
Key   : G


  Em             Am D Em
O come, O come, Emmanuel
     G             Am  Em
And ransom captive Israel
     Am               G      D
That mourns in lonely exile here
  Em            Am D    G
Until the Son of God appear

   D        Bm      Am  Em
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel 
       G             Am  Em
Shall come to thee O Israel

  Em                    Am D     Em
O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
     G               Am     Em
Our spirits by Thine advent here
     Am              G        D
And drive away the shades of night
     Em                   Am D      G
And pierce the clouds and bring us light

  Em             Am D      Em
O come, Desire of nations, bind
    G              Am       Em
All people in one heart and mind
    Am               G        D
Bid envy strife and quarrels cease
     Em                 Am D      G
Fill all the world with heaven's peace
