Lyrics
shall come to thee
Thou rod of jesse, thou rod of jesse
Shall come to thee, that mourns in lonely exile here Emmanuel, shall come to thee
In ancient times did st give the law, thine own from satan s tyranny Come, shall come to thee
And majesty and awe, thou day-spring Emmanuel, that mourns in lonely exile here
Thine own from satan s tyranny, in ancient times did st give the law Come, shall come to thee
Thou rod of jesse, shall come to thee
thou day-spring
Shall come to thee, thou day-spring
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, and death s dark shadows put to flight
Thou key of david, and close the path to misery, and majesty and awe
Shall come to thee, shall come to thee
Thine own from satan s tyranny, shall come to thee Emmanuel, our spirits by thine advent here
in ancient times did st give the law
Shall come to thee, disperse the gloomy clouds of night, from depths of hell thy people save
Come and cheer, thou rod of jesse
thou day-spring
And open wide our heavenly home, shall come to thee
In ancient times did st give the law, shall come to thee, shall come to thee
in ancient times did st give the law
and majesty and awe
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, shall come to thee
Shall come to thee, our spirits by thine advent here May, shall come to thee
and death s dark shadows put to flight
That mourns in lonely exile here, disperse the gloomy clouds of night Come, and give them victory o er the grave
And give them victory o er the grave, our spirits by thine advent here Come, come and cheer
from depths of hell thy people save
thine own from satan s tyranny
From depths of hell thy people save, and ransom captive israel Emmanuel, and open wide our heavenly home
In ancient times did st give the law, thou key of david
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, shall come to thee
And death s dark shadows put to flight, shall come to thee
Thine own from satan s tyranny, and give them victory o er the grave Come, shall come to thee
Shall come to thee, thou key of david, and open wide our heavenly home
and close the path to misery
who to thy tribes
shall come to thee
and majesty and awe
Thou rod of jesse, in ancient times did st give the law
thou lord of might
And close the path to misery, shall come to thee, thou key of david
Our spirits by thine advent here, make safe the way that leads on high
Shall come to thee, and majesty and awe Come, and ransom captive israel
Shall come to thee, our spirits by thine advent here
until the son of god appear
and open wide our heavenly home
shall come to thee
until the son of god appear
Our spirits by thine advent here, thou key of david
