and ransom captive Israel
that mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel
shall come to you, O Israel.

who to your tribes on Sinai’s height
in ancient times did give the law
in cloud and majesty and awe.

From depths of hell your people save,

Make safe for us the heavenward road
and bar the way to death’s abode.

and bring us comfort from afar!
Dispel the shadows of the night
and turn our darkness into light.

in one the hearts of all mankind.
Bid all our sad divisions cease
and be yourself our King of Peace.
