Prophets promised long ago
A King would come to bring us hope,
And now a virgin bears a son-
The time to save the world has come.
Humble shepherds run in haste
To see the One the angels praised,
In cattle stall they find a girl
Who holds the hope of all the world.
Chorus:
Emmanuel has come to us,
The Christ is born, Hallelujah!
Our God made low to raise us up,
Emmanuel, has come to us.
As He sleeps upon the hay
He holds the moon and stars in place,
Though born an infant He remains
The sovereign God of endless days.
Chorus
For all our sins one day He’ll die
To make us sons of God on high;
Let every heart prepare Him room-
The promises have all come true.
Chorus
