O come, o come Emmanuel Shall come to thee, o Israel Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, o Israel The first noel, the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay In fields where they lay keeping their sheep On a cold winter's night that was so deep Noel, noel, noel, noel Born is the king of Israel I wonder as I wander out under the sky Why Jesus the saviour did come for to die For poor on'ry people like you and I die I wonder as I wander out under the sky If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing A star in the sky or a bird on the wing Or all of God's angels in heaven to sing He surely could have it 'Cause he was the king Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, o Israel
