Author's note: This is a carol from the Fourth Age in Gondor, sung to the tune "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel."
O Come, O Come, Isildur's Heir
O come, O come, Isildur's Heir
And ransom the White City
fair,
That bides in growing dark and fear
Until the king
foretold appear.
Refrain:
Rejoice, rejoice, our
Elessar
Shall reunite all Gondor.
O come, O come, and for
us fight,
And find the Tree on mountain height,
Which anciently
the Eldar gave
To Númenor now under wave.
Refrain
O
come, thou son of Arathorn,
And gladden all who wait here and
mourn
From out of Sauron's darkness bring
Thy people into light
and spring.
Refrain
O come, Telcontar, come and
cheer
Our spirits by thy presence here
Restore the might of
thine own country
And rule us in your wise majesty.
Refrain
O come, thou heir of Elendil, come
And make sad Gondor thy new
home;
Make safe the land that quails from the Eye,
And bring an
end to misery.
Refrain
O come thou child of Eriador
And share with us thy knowledge of
lore;
Forsaking not thy people to dwell
On those misfortunes
all may foretell.
Refrain
O come, Estel our promised hope, bind
Us as a nation leading
mankind;
From dark forbodings give us release,
And bring to us
a time of peace.
