Veni, Veni Emmanuel

Ancient Chant

1.
Veni, veni Emmanuel!
Captivum solve Israel
Qui gemit in exilio
Privatus Dei Filio.

Refrain
Gaude, Gaude, Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.

2.
Veni, O Jesu Virgula!
Ex hostis tuos ungula
De specu tuos tartari,
Educ, et antro barathri

3.
Veni, veni O Oriens!
Solare nos adveniens:
Noctis depelle nebulas,
Dirasque noctis tenebras.

4.
Veni Clavis Davidica!
Regna, reclude coelica
Fac iter tutum supernum
Et claude vias inferum.
