Draw nigh, draw nigh, Emmanuel

1.

Draw nigh, draw nigh, Emmanuel

And ransom captive Israel

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the Son of God appear

2.

Draw nigh, O Jesse’s rod, draw nigh,

To free us from the enemy

From hell’s infernal pit to save

And give us victory o’er the grave

3.

Draw nigh, Thou dayspring, who shalt cheer

And comfort by Thine Advent here

And banish far the brooding gloom

Of sinful night and endless doom

4.

Draw nigh, draw nigh, O David’s key

The heavenly gate will open to Thee

Make safe the way that leads on high

And close the path to misery

5.

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
