Advent Hymn - O Come, O Come Emmanuel

[Rev Gert]

Does anyone have the Latin text to "O Come, O Come Emmanuel"? Cannot find
it anywhere in Iowa.

Veni, veni Emmanuel!
Captivum solve Israel!
Qui gemit in exilio,
Privatus Dei Filio.
Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.

Veni, veni o oriens!
Solare nos adveniens,
Noctis depelle nebulas,
Dirasque noctis tenebras.
Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.

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

There may be other verses for all I know. I don't exactly recall any of
the other verses in English, but it seems to me that there are some that
don't correspond to any of these. But this will get you started.
