Gaude! gaude! Emmauuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.

Veni, clavis Davidica!
Regna reclude cœlica,
Fac iter tutum superum,
Et claude vias inferum.
Gaude! gaude! Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.

Veni, veni, Adonai!
Qui populo in Sinai
Legem dedisti vertice,
In majestate gloriæ.
Gaude! gaude! Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.

Amen.

Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall be born for thee, O Israel!

Draw nigh, draw nigh, O David's Key,
The Heavenly Gate will ope to Thee;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall be born for thee, O Israel!

Draw nigh, draw nigh, O Lord of Might,
Who to Thy tribes from Sinai's height
In ancient time didst give the law,
In cloud, and majesty, and awe.
Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall be born for thee, O Israel!

Amen.

Rorate, etc.

Drop dew, etc.
