Emmanuel

Christ was born to save
He came in Bethlehem town
I am His slave
The Messiah was renown

Behold Christ’s incarnation
He came because of love
A child Who would be a propitiation
Angels worshiped Him from above

No pillow for His head
The animals did pray
Jesus would die in my stead
He slept on a bed of hay

On this day of Christ’s birth
We look ahead to Calvary
Celebrate Christmas mirth
He died for you and me

Enjoy this yuletide
On the third day He rose
In Christ abide
Let us rejoice with prose

Jesus redeems us elect
We are born again
It is man that God did select
No longer a slave to sin

Let church bells ring
God is with us
Of Jesus we sing
The angels proclaim sanctus
