Qui gemit in exilio |

Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel |

Nascetur pro te, Israel |
Shall come to thee, Israel |

Noctis depelle nebulas |
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night |
|
Dirasque noctis tenebras |
And death's dark shadow put to flight |

Et claude vias inferum |
That we no more have cause to sigh |
