"Ecco il vostro Dio, egli viene a salvarvi" (Dal libro del profeta Isaia)
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 thee, O Israel!
Oh, come Thou Rod of Jesse free,
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny;
From depths of hell Thy people save,
And give them vict'ry over the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel, ...
Oh, come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
Oh, drive away the shades of night,
And pierce the clouds, and bring us light,
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel, ...
Oh, come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heav'nly home;
Where are thy Saint's with thee shall dwell,
Oh Come, Oh Come, Emmanuel.
