TORI AMOS LYRICS - Emmanuel

"Emmanuel"



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



Long ago the earth lay sleeping

Waiting for the darkest night

To bring with it the dove of peace

Rising on the wings

Wings of the sun

Rising on the wings of the sun



O come, O come, thou Dayspring bright!

Pour on our souls thy healing light

Dispel the long night's lingering gloom

And pierce the shadows of the tomb

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.
