O come, O come, Emmanuel
– O ejja, o ejja, Emanuel
And ransom captive Israel
– U Fidwa iżrael magħluq
That mourns in lonely exile here
– Dak jibki fl-eżilju solitarju hawn
Until the Son of God appear
– Sakemm jidher L-Iben Ta’alla
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
– Tiċċelebra! Tiċċelebra! Emanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
– Għandhom jiġu thee, O Iżrael
O come, O come, Thou Lord of might
– O ejja, o ejja, Int Mulej tal-qawwa
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai’s height
– Min għat-tribujiet Tiegħek, fl-għoli Tas-Sinaj
In ancient times didst give the law
– Fi żminijiet antiki didst jagħti l liġi
In cloud, and majesty and awe
– Fis-sħab, u l-maestà u l-biża
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
– Tiċċelebra! Tiċċelebra! Emanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
– Għandhom jiġu thee, O Iżrael
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
– O ejja, Thou Rod Ta’jesse, b’xejn
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny
– Thine stess mit-tirannija Ta’satana
From depths of hell Thy people save
– Minn fond ta’infern nies Jsw ħlief
And give them victory o’er the grave
– U agħtihom ir-rebħa o’er il-qabar
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
– Tiċċelebra! Tiċċelebra! Emanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
– Għandhom jiġu thee, O Iżrael
O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
– O ejja, Thou Dayspring, ejja u ferraħ
Our spirits by Thine advent here
– L-ispirti tagħna mill-avvent Irqiq hawn
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
– Xerred is-sħab skuri tal-lejl
And death’s dark shadows put to flight
– U d-dellijiet skuri tal-mewt jittajru
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
– Tiċċelebra! Tiċċelebra! Emanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
– Għandhom jiġu thee, O Iżrael
O come, Thou Key of David, come
– O ejja, Int Ċavetta Ta’david, ejja
And open wide our heavenly home
– U miftuħ wiesad dar tas sema tagħna
Make safe the way that leads on high
– Agħmel sikur il-mod li jwassal fuq għoli
And close the path to misery
– U agħlaq it-triq għall-miżerja
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
– Tiċċelebra! Tiċċelebra! Emanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
– Għandhom jiġu thee, O Iżrael
O come, Thou Wisdom from on high
– O ejja, Int Għerf mill-għoli
And order all things, far and nigh
– U tordna l-affarijiet kollha, ‘il bogħod u nigh
To us the path of knowledge show
– Lilna l passaġġ tagħarfien juru
And cause us in her ways to go
– U jikkawżawna fil modi tagħha biex imorru
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
– Tiċċelebra! Tiċċelebra! Emanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
– Għandhom jiġu thee, O Iżrael
O come, desire of nations, bind
– O ejja, xewqa tan-nazzjonijiet, torbot
In one the hearts of all mankind
– F’waħda il qlub tal umanità kollha
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease
– Offerta thou diviżjonijiet imdejjaq tagħna jieqfu
And be Thyself our King of peace
– U kun Lilek Innifsek Is Sultan tal paċi tagħna
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
– Tiċċelebra! Tiċċelebra! Emanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
– Għandhom jiġu thee, O Iżrael
