Sing choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
O sing all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God, Glory in the highest

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel – full lyrics
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 Dayspring, from on high,
And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh;
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 heav'nly 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, Adonai, Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
In ancient times didst give the law
In cloud and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

Thank you for this rendition. I’ve had several family members pass recently, some are still here but leaving slowly. This song reminds me of why we celebrate Christmas especially during tragedies.

First sang when i was a girl in Episcopal Church in small town in Virginia. I think Dad taking me to church meant everything.

The first time I heard this song is in a concert held by The Piano Guys and the Tabernacle Choir. When I hear the voice and rhythm. I knew I must know the name of it.
