Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger bed:
Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child.
Emmanuel The promise kept Its longing of my heart for God in flesh Through this child, all earth is blessed Emmanuel
He came down to earth from heaven, who is God and Lord of all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall; with the poor, the scorned, the lowly, lived on earth our Savior holy.
Our answered prayer Our faith's reward Redemption's near Redemption's here
Emmanuel We will rejoice We will worship you, our Savior and our Lord We will join creation's voice Emmanuel
