Lyrics
After the silence of waiting so long
We hear a baby's first cry
And into our midnight
A heavenly song
Whispers that hope is alive
Oh joy to the world on this holy night
(Chorus:)
So sing with the angels that fill up the sky
Heaven broke through and now hope is alive
He is right here among us
Our god is with us tonight
And hope is alive
In an old stable beneath the bright stars
A young mother is holding her son
Oh the beauty of feeling the beat of God's heart
That tells us that we are not alone
Oh, our Emanuel has come
(Chorus)
Into our aching , into our breaking
Into our longing to be made whole
Your arms are reaching, Your love is holding us close
Into our suffering , into our weeping
Into this need we have to be known
Your arms are reaching, Your love is holding us close
(Chorus)
So sing with the Angels that filled up the sky
Those in the shadows have seen a great light
He is right here among us
Our god is with us tonight
And hope is alive
