Veni, veni, Emmanuel

O come, O come, Emmanuel,

captivum solve Israel,

and ransom captive Israel

qui gemit in exsilio,

that mourns in lonely exile here

privatus Dei Filio.

until the Son of God appear.

R: Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel,

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

nascetur pro te Israel!

shall come to thee, O Israel!

Veni, O Sapientia,

O come, Thou Wisdom, from on high,

quae hic disponis omnia,

and order all things far and nigh;

veni, viam prudentiae

to us the path of knowledge show,

ut doceas et gloriae.

and teach us in her ways to go.

Veni, veni, Adonai,

O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,

qui populo in Sinai

who to Thy tribes on Sinai's height

legem dedisti vertice

in ancient times did give the law

in maiestate gloriae.

in cloud and majesty and awe.

Veni, O Iesse virgula,

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse's stem,

ex hostis tuos ungula,

from ev'ry foe deliver them

de specu tuos tartari

that trust Thy mighty power to save,

educ et antro barathri.

and give them vict'ry o'er the grave.

Veni, Clavis Davidica,

O come, Thou Key of David, come

regna reclude caelica,

and open wide our heav'nly home;

fac iter tutum superum,

make safe the way that leads on high

et claude vias inferum.

that we no more have cause to sigh.

Veni, veni O Oriens,

O come, Thou Dayspring from on high,

solare nos adveniens,

and cheer us by thy drawing nigh;

noctis depelle nebulas,

disperse the gloomy clouds of night

dirasque mortis tenebras.

and death's dark shadow put to flight.

Veni, veni, Rex Gentium,

O come, Desire of the nations, bind

veni, Redemptor omnium,

in one the hearts of all mankind;

ut salvas tuos famulos

bid every strife and quarrel cease

peccati sibi conscios.

and fill the world with heaven's peace
