 Japanese Lyrics - 久しく待ちにし主よとく来たりて 

久しく待ちにし　主よ、とく来たりて

み民のなわめを　解き放ちたまえ.

主よ、主よ、み民を　救わせたまえや.

あしたの星なる　主よ、とく来たりて、

お暗き　この世に　み光をたまえ.

主よ、主よ、み民を　救わせたまえや.

ダビデの裔なる　主よ、とく来たりて、

平和の花咲く　国をたてたまえ.

主よ、主よ、み民を　救わせたまえや.

ちからの君なる　主よ、とく来たりて、

輝くみくらに　とわに即き給え.

主よ、主よ、み民を　救わせたまえや.

 English Lyrics - O Come, O Come, Emmanuel 

O come, O come, Emmanuel,

And ransom captive Israel,

That mourns in lonely exile here,

Until the Son of God appear.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free

Thine own from Satan's tyranny;

From depths of hell Thy people save,

And give them victory o'er the grave.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Dayspring, from on high,

And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh;

Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,

And death's dark shadows put to flight.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Key of David, come

And open wide our heav'nly home;

Make safe the way that leads on high,

And close the path to misery.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.
