A Song for Tonight's Memorial

O Come O Come Immanuel, and ransom captive Israel,
(Matt.1:23; Isa.61:1; Rev.9:14; 13:10)
That mourns in lonely exile here, until the sons of God appear (Rom.8:19).
Rejoice, rejoice, Immanuel. He comes to you, O Israel! (Acts 3:20,21; 2Thess.1:7)

O come, the branch of Jesse's tree. Free us from Satan's tyranny.
(Isa.11:1,2; Heb.2:14,15,16; Rom.16:20; Luke 10:19)
From depths Abyss your people save, and give them victory over the grave.
(Hosea 13:14; Ps.49:15)
Rejoice, rejoice, Immanuel. He comes to you, O Israel! (Heb.1:6)

O come, our dayspring, come and cheer our spirits by your drawing near.
(Rev.22:16; 2:28; Isa.60:1)
And drive away the shades of night. And pierce the smoke and bring us light.
(Rom.13:12; 1John2:8; Rev.9:2,3; Eze.2:6; 1Pet.2:9)

O come the key of David come, and open wide our heavenly home.
(Rev.3:8; 1:18; 1Sam.2:6; Phil.3:20; Col.3:1,2; Eph.2:6,19)

Teach us our eyes to simplify. Our hearts and lamps to purify.
(Matt.6:22; 5:14,15,16; 25:1,4,10)
And grant that we may please your face. By spirit may we win our race.
(Luke 21:36; Rev.6:17; 11:4; Ps.147:11; 2Cor.6:7; 1Pet.4:11; 1Cor.9:24)
Rejoice, rejoice, Immanuel. He comes to you, oh Israel!

Oh Lord and Master come for me. Come lift us up from Satan's sea.
Make safe the way that leads on high. And break the chains that bind us to the lie.
Rejoice, rejoice, Immanuel. He comes to you, oh Israel!
He comes to you, oh Israel!
(Gal.6:16,15; Rom.2:28,29; Gal.3:28,29,26; 4:26)
