Emmanuelís Song

God so loved the world

That he gave us His only Son

Now our God is for us

So weíll join the chorus

To declare what our great God has done!

At Christmas time we sing Christís praise

And gather his story to tell

For the reason he came

For the sake of the name

And to be our Emmanuel!

Oh come to us Emmanuel,

God with us forever to dwell

tabernacle in hearts

nevermoreÝ to depart

And weíllÝ go all the world to tell!

For though he was equal with God

Equality he did not grasp

He put off his glory

To write us the story

That fulfills more than we know to ask

For when he put on human flesh

And came to earth to dwell

On that Christmas day

He brought with him the way

To become our Emmanuel.

Oh come to us Emmanuel,

God with us forever to dwell

tabernacle in hearts

nevermoreÝ to depart

And weíllÝ go all the world to tell!
