I. Tarja Turunen.

[Verse 1]:

O come, O come, Emmanuel
To free your captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear

[Chorus 1]:

Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel
To you shall come Emmanuel

[Verse 2]:

Veni veni, Emmanuel
Captivum solve Israel
Qui gemit in exsilio
Privatus Dei Filio

[Chorus 2]:

Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel

[Verse 3]:

O come, O come, great Lord of might
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height
In ancient times once gave the law
In majesty and cloud and awe

[Chorus 1]:

Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel
To you shall come Emmanuel

Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel
To you shall come Emmanuel

II. For Today.

I hear the cry of a dying world
So let your light bring the life we've been fighting for
These are the eyes of a broken man
I see the fire that inspires us to hope again

O come Emmanuel and ransom your captive sons
There is one who can fight through the fog in the holy sea
And let the light leads us right to our destiny
O come Emmanuel with power and righteousness
'Cause we were lost, dead in our selfish ways
But now the time is come so tonight we sing

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel!
Shall come to thee so we will
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel!
Shall come to thee, o Israel

So come to us, o key of David
Come to us, o Lord of mine
Come to us, desire of a nation
Come to us, wisdom from on high

See us through the darkness
The shadow of the king
I hear the cry of a dying world
So let your light bring the life we've been fighting for
These are the eyes of a broken man
I see the fire that inspires us to hope again

O come Emmanuel deliver us from the grave
Come and save us the ones who believed in our ignorance
And from the blood come restore us to innocence
O come Emmanuel I can hear creation cry
And every eye will see
Every mind believe
There was a mighty king
Ascend to the throne tonight

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel!
Shall come to thee so we will
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel!
Shall come to thee, o Israel

The time is now!
Take your victory!
Bring redemption!
Take your victory!
Tonight we sing!
Rejoice! (rejoice!)
Rejoice! (rejoice!)

III. August Burns Red.

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory o'er the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heavenly home
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, O come, Thou Lord of might
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height
In ancient times did'st give the Law
In cloud, and majesty and awe
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
