O Come, O Come Emmanuel, Magnificat Version

Verse 1
O Come and help us magnify
Your justice in our heart and mind
Tear down the power structures that be
And the rich send away empty

Refrain:
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
shall come to thee, O Those Who Seek

O Come thou mighty and find
Ways to scatter the powerful n proud
And show your strength through grace and mercy
And exalt those who are humble and meek. [Refrain]

Verse 2
O come, O come, Emmanuel,
and ransom captives from all war
who mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear. [Refrain]

Verse 3
O come, thou Wisdom from on high,
who orderest all things mightily:
to us the path of knowledge show;
and teach us in her ways to go. [Refrain]

Verse 4
O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer
our spirits by thine advent here;
disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
and death’s dark shadows put to flight. [Refrain]

Verse 5
O come, thou Root of Jesse, free
thine own from ev’ry kind of tyranny;
from depths of greed thy people save
and give them victory o’er the grave. [Refrain]

Verse 6
O come, Desire of nations, bind
all peoples in one heart and mind;
bid envy, strife, and discord cease;
fill the whole world with heaven’s peace. [Refrain]
