Draw nigh, draw nigh, Emmanuel,
And loose Thy captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here,
Until the Son of God appear!
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Is born for thee, O Israel!

O Rod of Jesse's stem, arise
And free us from our enemies,
And set us loose from Satan's chains,
And from the pit with all its pains!
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Is born for thee, O Israel!

Thou, the true East, draw nigh, draw nigh,
To give us comfort from on high!
And drive away the shades of night,
And pierce the clouds and bring us light!
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Is born for thee, O Israel!

Key of the House of David, come!
Re-open Thou our Heavenly home!
Make safe the way that we must go,
And close the path that leads below.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Is born for thee, O Israel!

Ruler and Lord, draw nigh, draw nigh,
Who to Thy flock in Sinai
Didst give, of ancient times, Thy Law
In cloud and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Is born for thee, O Israel! Amen.
