Veni, veni Emmanuel!

Captivum solve Israel!

Qui gemit in exilio,

Privatus Dei Filio,

Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel

nascetur pro te, Israel.

Veni O Jesse virgula!

Ex hostis tuos ungula,

De specu tuos tartari

Educ, et antro barathri.

R.

Veni, veni O Oriens!

Solare nos adveniens,

Noctis depelle nebulas,

Dirasque noctis tenebras.

R.

Veni clavis Davidica!

Regna reclude coelica,

Fac iter Tutum superum,

Et claude vias Inferum.

R.

Veni, veni Adonai!

Qui populo in Sinai

Legem dedisti vertice,

In maiestate gloriae.

R.

Veni, O Sapientia,

Quae hic disponis omnia,

Veni, viam prudentiae

Ut doceas et gloriae.

R.

Veni, Veni, Rex Gentium,

Veni, Redemptor omnium,

Ut salves tuos famulos

Peccati sibi conscios.

R.

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.

R.

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.

R.

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.

R.

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.

R.

O come, Thou Wisdom from on high,

And order all things, far and nigh;

To us the path of knowledge show,

And cause us in her ways to go.

R.

O come, Desire of nations, bind

All peoples in one heart and mind;

Bid envy, strife and quarrels cease;

Fill the whole world with heaven’s peace.

R.

Roráte caéli désuper,

et núbes plúant jústum.

Ne irascáris Dómine,

ne ultra memíneris iniquitátis:

ecce cívitas Sáncti fácta est desérta:

Síon desérta fácta est, Jerúsalem desoláta est:

dómus sanctificatiónis túæ et glóriæ túæ,

ubi laudavérunt te pátres nóstri.

Peccávimus, et fácti súmus tamquam immúndus nos,

et cecídimus quasi fólium univérsi:

et iniquitátes nóstræ quasi véntus abstulérunt nos:

abscondísti faciem túam a nóbis,

et allisísti nos in mánu iniquitátis nóstræ.

Víde Dómine afflictiónem pópuli túi,

et mítte quem missúrus es:

emítte Agnum dominatórem térræ,

de Pétra desérti ad móntem fíliæ Síon:

ut áuferat ípse júgum captivitátis nóstræ.

Vos testes mei, dicit Dóminus,

et servus meus quem elégi;

ut sciátis, et credátis mihi:

ego sum, ego sum Dóminus, et non est absque me salvátor:

et non est qui de manu mea éruat.

Consolámini, consolámini, pópule méus:

cito véniet sálus túa:

quare mæróre consúmeris,

quia innovávit te dólor?

Salvábo te, nóli timére,

égo enim sum Dóminus Déus túus,

Sánctus Israël, Redémptor túus.

Drop down, ye heavens, from above,

and let the skies pour down righteousness.

Be not wroth very sore, O Lord,

neither remember iniquity for ever:

thy holy city is a wilderness,

Sion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation:

our holy and our beautiful house,

where our fathers praised thee.

We have sinned, and are as an unclean thing,

and we all do fade as a leaf:

and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away:

thou hast hid thy face from us:

and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.

Behold, O Lord, the affliction of thy people,

and send forth him whom thou wilt send;

send forth the Lamb, the ruler of the earth,

from Petra of the desert to the mount of the daughter of Zion:

that he may take away the yoke of our captivity.

Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord,

and my servant whom I have chosen;

that ye may know me and believe me:

I, even I, am the Lord, and beside me there is no Savior:

and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.

Comfort ye, comfort ye my people;

my salvation shall not tarry:

why wilt thou waste away in sadness?

why hath sorrow seized thee?

Fear not, for I will save thee:

For I am the Lord thy God,

the Holy One of Israel, thy Redeemer.

Cónditor alme síderum,

aetérna lux credéntium,

Christe, redémptor ómnium,

exáudi preces súpplicum.

Qui cóndolens intéritu

mortis períre saeculum,

salvásti mundum lánguidum,

donans reis remédium:

Vergénte mundi véspere,

uti sponsus de thálamo,

egréssus honestíssima

Vírginis matris cláusula:

Cuius forti poténtiæ

genu curvántur ómnia,

Caeléstia, terréstria,

mutu faténtur súbdita.

Te déprécamur agie,

ventúre judex saéculi,

consérva nos in témpore

hostis a telo pérfidi.

Laus, honor, virtus, glória

Deo Patri, et Filío,

sancto Simul Paráclito

in saeculórum saécula.

Creator of the stars of night,

thy people’s everlasting light,

Jesu, Redeemer, save us all,

and hear Thy servants when they call.

Thou, grieving that the ancient curse

should doom to death a universe,

hast found the medicine, full of grace,

to save and heal a ruined race.

Thou cam’st, the Bridegroom of the bride,

as drew the world to evening-tide;

proceeding from a virgin shrine,

the spotless victim all divine.

At whose dread name, majestic now,

all knees must bend, all hearts must bow;

and things celestial Thee shall own,

and things terrestrial, Lord alone.

O Thou whose coming is with dread

to judge and doom the quick and dead,

preserve us, while we dwell below,

from every insult of the foe.

To God the Father, God the Son,

and God the Spirit, Three in One,

laud, honor, might, and glory be

from age to age eternally.
