Mvmt I: "Rejoice! Rejoice!" - The Oh Hellos

O come, o come Emmanuel

and ransom captive Israel

who mourns in lonely exile here

until the Son of God appear

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free

Thine own from Satan’s tyranny

from depths of Hell Thy people save

and give them victory over the grave

Rejoice!

Rejoice!

Emmanuel

shall come to thee, o Israel

Rejoice!

Rejoice!

Emmanuel

shall come to thee, o Israel

By, by, lully, lullay

lullay, Thou little tiny child

by, by, lully lullay

Herod the king, in his raging

charged he hath this day

his men of might, in his own sight

all children young to slay

(hark! the herald angels sing:

glory to the newborn King!

peace on earth, and mercy mild

God and sinners reconciled

joyful all ye nations rise!

join the triumph of the skies!

with angelic hosts proclaim

Christ is born in Bethlehem

hark!

the herald angels sing:

glory to the newborn King!)
