Fourth Sunday in Advent
Fourth Sunday in Advent
Hymn:
Oh, come, oh come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice ! Rejoice ! Emmanuel Shall come to you O Israel.
Oh, come, oh come, great Lord of might,
Who to your tribes on Sinai’s height
In ancient times once gave the law
In cloud, and majesty, and awe. Refrain
Oh come, strong Branch of Jesse, free
Your own from Satan’s tyranny;
From depths of hell your people save
And give them vict’ry o’er the grave. Refrain
Oh come, blest Dayspring come and cheer
Our spirits by your advent here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death’s dark shadows put to flight. Refrain
Oh, come, O Key of David come, Stir up your power, O Lord and come. Take away the
And open wide our heav’nly home; hindrance of our sins and make us ready for the celebration
Make safe the way that leads on high, of your birth, that we may receive you in joy and serve you
And close the path to misery. Refrain
always; for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy
Spirit, now and forever.
