Draw nigh, draw nigh, 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.
Draw nigh, O Jesse’s Rod, draw nigh, To free us from the enemy; From hell’s infernal to save, And give us victory o’er the grave. Rejoice, Rejoice, etc.
Draw nigh, draw nigh, O Morning Star, And bring us comfort from afar; And banish far from us the gloom Of sinful night and endless doom. Rejoice, rejoice, etc.
Draw nigh, draw nigh, O David’s Key, The heavenly gate unfolds to Thee; Make safe the way that leads on high, And close the path to misery. Rejoice, rejoice, etc.
Draw nigh, draw nigh, O Lord of might, Who to Thy tribes from Sinai’s height, In ancient time, didst give the law In cloud, and majesty, and awe. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. Amen.
